Miikana (First Year Experience) – (Spring 2025: Section 1)

This course is designed to help students negotiate the complexities of college; from selecting classes and completing degree requirements to finding one’s way through the financial aid maze. Study skills such as effective reading strategies, note-taking, and time management will be taught. The course will infuse English language writing and reading skills by incorporating best practices throughout the course. Opportunities for students to apply these skills in their current courses and texts will be provided. In addition, students will have the opportunity to explore Anishinaabe values and how these values apply to their own lives. Miikana is required in a student’s first or second semester (exceptions may be made for transfer students with approval of the Dean of Academics).
