This course will use information obtained in the first offerings of SAGE100 to refine and improve the course. This two-semester course is designed to orient first-year students to collegial life, living and learning opportunities, and RC learning goals at the University of Macau. It provides active learning opportunities which enable students to take responsibility for their transition to university and RC life. The course also serves the function of forming student learning communities, which, facilitated by RC faculty, encourage students to explore a wide range of experiential learning activities in RC competency areas (Global Citizenship, Cultural Engagement, Healthy Living, Interpersonal Relations and Teamwork, Leadership and Service) while documenting and assessing their personal growth in an e-portfolio. Students are responsible for submitting e-portfolio project(s). The course runs parallel to and complements the University’s RC requirements for first–year students. Students
