A three-week accelerated course is offered to Jump Start College students prior to the beginning of the regular college semester. One of the primary purposes of offering the accelerated course is to help students transition to college curriculum, make essential connections with the cohort and the coach, and earn 3 general education credits.
This also affords students the opportunity to concentrate on 4 classes (12 credits) during the semester essentially lightening the course load for the regular semester. Every attempt is made by the college to offer accelerated courses prior to each semester.
Cohort Coach and Supplemental Instruction
Jump Start College participants are offered the opportunity to enroll in supported cohort courses where a Cohort Coach is provided by the college.
精东影业视频 Cohort Coaches serve as academic mentors and coaches for students throughout their Jump Start College experience. Initially coaches assist students in learning about college procedures and policies, and making the adjustment to rigorous college curriculum. Coaches help by encouraging students to access their instructors when they have questions regarding curriculum, assignments, and course expectations. They are also instrumental in referring students to college resources and tutoring services.
Cohort Coaches lead weekly Supplemental Instruction (SI) workshops. Supplemental Instruction sessions include curriculum to assist students with time management, study skills, and test taking strategies. SI workshops are also a structured time for course review and planning. The Cohort Coach/Student relationship and SI sessions are key components of Jump Start College student success.
