Why take it? It’s just more work, right? It’s so much more than that.
It’s about setting yourself up for success. This is the best description of the Langara Student Success Course.
You know that athletes practice for their sports? Often they practice several hours a week building their skills and getting better at what they do. Well, LSSC is like practice for your brain for college. You want those good grades? Then, you need to put in some time to practice and build your skills so that you give yourself the best possible opportunity for success. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon – for your brain. So, you need to give it the tools and skills it needs to make it to the finish line – graduation.
This course is available for free and available to all students as soon as you have access to Brightspace. You are automatically enrolled in the course in your first semester. The LSSC is a 9-module, asynchronous, online course that is available 24/7 and generally takes students 6-8 hours to complete. This means that there are no scheduled lecture times and you can take it from your own home on your own device. If you didn’t complete the LSSC in your first semester, don’t worry, you can self-enroll as long as you are a student.
The goal of the LSSC is to help our students, you, build their academic skills to become more pro-active and resilient learners. Research shows that students who successfully complete the LSSC do better at Langara.
