Note: Due to staffing changes, Adjunct Study Skills courses are not currently available.
Skills 232/233 is a 1/2 unit Pass/No Pass course linked to specific general education classes at De Anza College. By enrolling in this class, you make the decision to improve your study skills and do better in your content courses.
During the first week of the quarter, Student Success Center staff, faculty, and tutors present this opportunity to students in classes on campus. The second week of the quarter is called Preview Week where students can attend a group session and meet the Supplemental Instructor (S.I.) to ask questions and learn more. In the third through eleventh weeks of the quarter, students meet with their S.I. and group each week to review course materials, prepare for exams, or complete assignments.
