Compass: Foundations for the Road Ahead The transition to college coincides with a range of increased developmental expectations and challenges. Some essential developmental tasks are exploring interests, building relationships, solidifying identities, and creating pathways to a life of meaning. In addition, mastering the college experience includes gaining and applying new skills to increasingly complex contexts. Utilizing literature from Psychology and Education, we will explore critical developmental tasks and associated skills that drive healthy outcomes for college-age students. We will then work collaboratively to begin honing essential skills and practice applying them over the semester. Through written assignments, projects, and presentations, students will leave the course prepared to experience their liberal arts education with greater intention and be better prepared to live engaged, consequential, and creative lives.

I did not enjoy this class at all. There was lots of homework assignments sometimes 3 a week and all of which were 2-3 page responses. The class material was very easy and it felt completely unnecessary for so much work.
This course was very great. I would definitely take it again and I just wish it had attributes. Overall, I genuinely had fun in this class and the classes are very well organized in a way that is easy and simple for one to understand. Very fun and useful class. Definitely would recommend it.
The course is very fun and very informative. The professors are also very understanding and want the best for their students. Would definitely take a course again if either of the professors teach them.
