Young people today have been criticized for needing adulting classes. However, older generations (but not your instructor, she's way cool) have forgotten that they grew up in a time when they were more likely to have a parent at home and may have been required to take a class like home economics that taught the skills we call adulting.
The first-year of college is a big deal. This CAT Community is part of a larger program, K-State First , whose goal is to offer students the things that research shows helps them to learn and to succeed in college. This class will offer practical and academic skills in a learning environment where it is safe to ask questions and make mistakes. And because learning is social, you will share what you are learning in a podcast and a blog so that others can learn as well.
