I can create a video like this more geared towards a college interview. As an assignment/assessment, students can do a virtual interview, either with me, a partner, or even guest interviewers so it can seem more realistic.
However, having a sense of purpose that motivates you and a lifestyle that supports your ability to focus on your academic goals are the basic building blocks of success in college and beyond.
This is essentially a course that I could see being a sequel to my course! It talks about what you need to be successful in college; so once you get there, what do you need to know?
This article is spectacular and it won't let me highlight within it because it is a pdf. But it gives many self-assessment surveys so students can learn where they stand in their college readiness.

This is something that students don't often understand coming into college and causes a lot of stress during the first semester. Students need to be aware of what is expected of them in college and anticipate the heavy reading and writing curriculum that college provides. This could help prevent a lot of failed assignments and help students keep up their confidence for learning.
This is another concern many students have while researching colleges. Introducing activities/readings like this could help to alleviate some of those worries.
There really isn't anything in this course that I don't like. I think it is all incredibly useful, and some of it can be incorporated pre-emptively so that college applicants are prepared and knowledgeable about the college experience.
I will use this page in the last module of my course, as a way to help students transition to being a student. I will probably use it as an extra credit assignment.
