Taking the Precocious Student Course

1. What should a student know before taking this course?

You should be comfortable using a computer browser. All of our online work will be done either in chat or in the Scholars Online Moodle, using FireFox or Safari.

You should be able to use Microsoft Word, Libre Office, Mac Pages, or a similar word processor to create files and export them in PDF format. We will use this common format to share work among the students.

2. What level of writing skills is required?

This is a practical course for learning study skills. Some exercises require writing short paragraphs in response to essay-type questions.

3. How much preparation time is necessary?

About two hours per week is necessary to review the study materials and complete the Moodle exercises, then plan how to implement new skills into your study schedule.

4. What kind of grade will I get?

This is an ungraded summer enrichment course. If you require a grade or credit for your work, contact the instructor. You may be required to do extra projects for academic credit.
