Overview

IS100 is a one-hour course introducing freshmen to the complex and exciting world of university life. The seminar is open and available to all freshmen at Texas Tech University. We seek students who want to acquire the skills necessary to take control of their own education, and to maximize their university experience.

You will learn the special skills of successful note and test-taking, time management and report writing, oral presentations and critical reading. You will also learn problem-solving techniques, as well as receive information on the many resources available to you at Texas Tech.

It is the class to take if you want to ensure your success in school and life. Students who have completed IS-1100 have a higher GPA and are more likely to return the following fall semester than SAT-matched controls.

With a class size of 20 to 25 participants, you will have the opportunity to make friends and share your perceptions and confusions with your peers.
