MATSCI 143S

STEMentors: Materials Structure and Characterization

UNITS:1
GRADING:Satisfactory/No Credit
LEVEL:Undergrad
GER:—

For students concurrently enrolled in MATSCI MATSCI 143, STEMentors is designed to provide timely support with study and problem-solving skills applicable in both Materials Science and STEM courses in general. Students will join a small cohort of other MATSCI MATSCI 143 students looking to build community with and support other students in STEM. Weekly sections will focus on group activities and individual check-ins facilitated by a peer mentor who has previously taken MATSCI MATSCI 143. These activities are designed to normalize challenging experiences within a college engineering course, build key study skills such as how to effectively review lecture notes and practice problems, prepare for and reflect on written and oral exams, and develop a consistent problem-solving process that will build student confidence over the quarter. Students should enroll in this weekly mentor section.
