Career & Life Planning
Puente students will have the opportunity to engage collaboratively and promote team building while building their leadership skills. Topics covered will include educational planning, self-assessment, decision making, student success strategies, motivation, cultural identity, study skills, learning styles, goal setting and financial aid. Students will receive an introduction to library research and complete a research project. CRER 128 will support the degree/transfer attainment of Puente students by establishing a sense of belonging, enhancing student engagement and self-reflection as well as deepening the understanding of the college system and expectations. In addition, consideration of psychological, sociological and physiological components that attribute to personal and academic success will be explored. This course will require participation in off-campus field trips. A materials fee in the amount shown in the Schedule of Classes is payable upon registration. (AA: Area E5d, CSU: Area E) CRER 129 PUENTE: TRANSFER READINESS (2) Minimum of 32 lecture hours per term. Corequisite: ENGL 100/102 or ENGL 105. CRER 129 Puente: Transfer Readiness is part of the Puente Project and must be taken concurrently with ENGL 100/102 or ENGL 105. CRER 129 builds upon CRER 128 and is designed to assist CSM Puente students to develop the knowledge and skills needed to complete their educational goal with a focus on Transfer and Career Planning. Through a holistic and comprehensive approach, this course will consist of areas related to transfer and career planning with a culminating social justice research project. Topics covered will include Personal Statements, Transfer Process, Universities (UC, CSU, Private), TAGs, Transfer resources, Career Planning process, Career Assessment, Values/skills, Research methodology and more within an environment of collaboration and team building. This course will require participation in off-campus field trips and activities. A materials fee in the amount shown in the Schedule of Classes is payable upon registration.
