What is the difference between ORI 103T and ORI 101?
ORI 103T
This course assists new students who want to explore teaching careers in making a satisfactory adjustment to the collegiate environment. General collegiate skills are introduced within the specific context of the teaching profession.
In addition to orienting students to life at AAMU, this course helps students become familiar with lesson plan development by writing, teaching, and observing lessons in an elementary school class. While students build and practice inquiry-based lesson design skills, they also become familiar with and practice classroom management in the elementary school setting. As a result of these class experiences, students are able to decide to continue to explore teaching as a career by registering for ORI 104T and, ultimately, the remainder of the AAMUTeach curriculum leading to teacher certification.
This course satisfies the mandatory Orientation requirement with no obligation to declare a concentration in education.
ORI 101
This course assists new students in making a satisfactory adjustment to the collegiate environment. Topics include, but are not limited to, the history of AAMU, academic policies and procedures, study skills, test- taking strategies, time management, money management, health & wellness, safety, email, letter writing, telephone etiquette, student life, and other relevant information.
Entering freshmen and transfer students who enter AAMU with fewer than 31 semester credit hours are required to register for this course which is mandatory for graduation.
