Students will be exposed to literature and discussions that will allow them to analyze the major theories and research conducted in the areas of college access, outreach, academic achievement, and resiliency. The service-learning component of this course (known as Project SOAR) expose students to these various factors first-hand as they serve as mentors to middle school students in 6-8 public schools in Tucson. Students will be expected to bring their experience back to the classroom to enhance and refine their understanding of the course topics, and provide a local angle on the theories and literature discussed in-class. <a href="http://www.coe.arizona.edu/soar" target="_blank">http://www.coe.arizona.edu/soar</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>GRADING: Regular grades are awarded for this course (A B C D E).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>PREREQUISITE: One courses from Tier One, Individuals & Societies (INDV 101, 102, 103)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>SECTIONS:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>HED 350: general course; 3 general discussion sections (001A 002, and 003), register on UAccess.arizona.edu<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>QUESTIONS?
