The college is pretty basic, you wont need much. They have three areas;
Analytical Methods which is all maths based, you'll do one group project, a survey-type project on your own and a test at the end. I only wrote my name down for the test and left (I suck with maths) so it's not even that strict. I got a D with my survey project and a CR with the group project.
Then there is Academic Techniques which is all about making sure you know grammar, spelling, etc and how to write university standard reports and essays, they'll make you do little exercises in class and then a report on what degree you want to do (or something along those lines), it's also pretty basic and useful.
Then there is humanities, you'll do about 4 essays for that and they each go up in word count, like the first will be 500 words, second will be 1000, third will be 1500 and fourth will be 2000, and you'll have a workbook that follows a bunch of topics like communications, philosophy, psychology, etcetera and you'll just sit around and have group discussions with questions etc to make sure you all get a broad sweep of everything.
It's something like, you need to keep a credit average but they're lenient and hesitant to fail people, you can only really fail if you do sweet fuck all, the tutors are great and it's a nice way to be eased into university. You'll only do that like two days a week though so you might want to look for a job to kill time as the workload isn't that full on.
