- These half-unit courses provide specific and focused learning assistance
for targeted discipline courses, integrating how-to-learn with what-to learn,
thereby increasing student success.
- Learning Communities offer an alternative to the traditional individual
course approach. They link students, curricula, and faculty from multiple
courses into a single "community of learners" for the purposes of providing
a broader perspective on a unifying theme and providing a meaningful context
for academic learning strategies. By using a theme and incorporating
student‑centered approaches, such as active, collaborative, and reflective
learning strategies, both instructors and students experience a more
coherent and enriched teaching and learning environment.
