About the Course

The English and Academic Preparation - Pre-Collegiate non-credit course is for students with a (minimum) high-intermediate level of English. This certificate course is designed to help domestic and international students develop the academic skills necessary for success in undergraduate studies at an American university while strengthening their English proficiency. Ideally, prospective students have completed or are near completion of a high school diploma in their country and would like to come to the United States to study for a bachelor’s degree. The total length of time required to complete the course is approximately 4 weeks. Students should expect to spend about 5-7 hours per week working with the materials and assignments. The course is made up of 4 modules: • Listening, Speaking, and Critical Thinking • Writer’s Workshop • Reading and Note-taking • Capstone Project Each module consists of video lessons, opportunities for practicing English and academic skills, interactive discussion boards with classmates, and graded activities. All courses are asynchronous, which means that the lessons and their activities can be completed at any time of day or night, provided that all course assignments are completed by the final day of class....

Es un excelente curso, me pareció fácil de entender y del que de hecho puedes obtener muchos beneficios en cuanto al idioma se trata y por supuesto de la metodología utilizada en las universidades de USA, quede muy satisfecha con lo aprendido y lo mejorado con esta oportunidad, una cosa que deberían pensar antes de ingresar a curso es que de hecho los demás alumnos te califican tus tareas y eso me ha resultado un poco molesto porque a veces las calificaciones no tienen mucho sentido con lo que tu has hecho, y me llevaba a pensar que no se tomaban el tiempo de realmente revisar tu tarea, así que por favor con mucho respeto tomate el tiempo de mirar la tarea y calificarla acordemente, por supuesto tengan presentes sus horarios ya que las actividades no siempre son cortas y lo prudente es hacer un segmento completo para no atrasarte en el curso, con eso en cuenta les deseo suerte en su proceso de aprendizaje es en general algo nutritivo y satisfactorio!

Generally a great course to brush up on how to write and take notes before college. Honestly gave me some new knowledge on how to quickly jot important notes and read faster. The tests have some minor problems in terms of questions and answers but generally a great course!

I am preparing the Academic Writing class, so I learned lots of useful information such as takenotes, sentence topics, which can be combined into my class. I appreciate very much that I can access to the program. Thank you for your hard working and sharing.

I really enjoyed doing this course. My only upset was that someone stole my assignment after reviewing, it and posted it as theirs.

Listening assignment should be verified since one cannot put audios or voice memos in it!!!
