Any recent college graduate will tell you that there are some things about being an adult that they wished they would have learned sooner. This course will take a practical approach in addressing some of the knowledge gaps on topics that college students will need to know to be an independent adult. After surveying students with a list of over 70 topics and we have narrowed down to 11 popular topics that we will try to address during this interterm. In this course we will learn about:
· stress management
· time management
· resumes
· cover letters
· interviewing
· leasing an apartment
· health insurance for beginners
· grocery shopping on a budget
· car maintenance
· leasing or buying a car
We will also take field trips to:
· The Baldwin Market, Baldwin City, KS
· Dale Willey Honda, Lawrence, KS
