FOUNDATIONS OF STUDENT SUCCESS

previously covered in secondary schools, reflecting on
self-assessments taken, diagnosing learning styles,
beginning to develop college-level study and tests-
taking skills, and learning the resources available to
students on a college campus.
● Each week is a different big idea that focuses on an area of
developmental need.
● Students will receive content addressing common themes based off of the ACT Engage Assessment.
Principles of Stem Innovation

● Every two weeks students will learn about different STEM related areas that will help prepare them for the upcoming semester
● Topics covered will include
● Physics Principles
● Genetic Principles
● Engineering Principles
● Chemistry Principles
● Each course will be taught by a different Full-Time TCNJ Faculty member
