Course Description: This mandatory workshop will inform and prepare students to maintain their course of study in P.A.C.E. while teaching them how to become successful adult learners.

Students will be introduced to the Houghton campus and its services, while learning the value of a Christian liberal arts education.  Key factors include the importance of critical thinking and insight into adult learning theories.  Emphasis will be placed on self-directed learning as it relates to the program  and beyond.  Students will also learn how to avoid plagiarism by utilizing database research methods   and APA citation sources.  Opportunities for reflection, based on completion of Adult Development   and content of the workshop, will lead to a purpose statement and goal setting exercise that will  integrate with the Portfolio of Reflections process.
