This course engages first-year students in hands-on academic exploration while preparing them to navigate the challenges and opportunities of higher education. Students will develop the intellectual skills needed for college-level inquiry by actively exploring the various sides of a single, challenging question or issue. While the specific topic of inquiry varies from section to section, all instructors employ a problem-based, interdisciplinary approach to learning that helps students make connections across fields of study. Students will engage their critical thinking skills as they generate questions, organize information, evaluate evidence, and weigh alternative perspectives. In the process, they will become acclimated to the culture of higher education at JCC. No requisites. J fall, spring; C fall, spring; Online occasionally.
