Credits: 2
This course is designed for international pathway students to take in the first half of their first pathway semester before they are engaged in full-time graduate coursework. In order to help students with acculturation and preparation for graduate study, this course develops receptive skills (i.e., reading and listening) needed for success in specific courses they are taking at GMU in their first pathway (non-degree) semester, both their disciplinary courses and their other pathway courses. The course’s main focus is help international students prepare to navigate their graduate coursework to build confidence and agency for future study. This includes helping students understand written guidelines and prompts, develop reading skills, utilize rubrics, respond to instructor feedback, and develop strategies for completing complex reading and writing assignments. Offered by INTO Mason. Limited to three attempts.
