CHASS F1RST Learning Community Contract

Being in a Learning Community allows you to meet a group of students dedicated to learning and to advancing towards their academic, career and life goals. To reach beyond the specific academic courses which make up your Learning Community, CHASS F1RST has created a Learning Community Contract. The Contract provides students with a directed means for exploring the broadest aspects of a university education. We want you to understand the multiple possibilities for your major, career, and life options. The following contract will guide you in your exploration of UCR and its possibilities. Each assignment has been chosen to provide you with a starting point for your exploration.

The assignments must be completed and emailed to Nancy Cruz (nancy.cruz@ucr.edu) by 12 noon, Friday, Dec. 7, 2007. If you complete all the assignments by the deadline, you will be entered into a raffle for a $50.00 UCR Bookstore gift certificate. Each assignment must have your name, SID#, Learning Community name, and which assignment is being fulfilled. The assignment should be 1/2 page, single spaced, and should tell us what you already knew about the subject, what you wanted to know about the subject, and what you learned about the subject.
