XXX 1190-3 First-Year Seminar (3 + 0)
This course is based on analyzing a first year college student's experiences through social, psychological and educational frameworks. Readings serve as multi-perspective models of living in the world; students use them as objects of inquiry. After close examination and class discussion, students write reaction, review or short research papers using the personal voice to demonstrate their increasing awareness about how the various issues affect them. Students build a body of writing that reflects their evolving role in academic life. The purpose of the course is to ease students' transition into college through group discussions, written assignments, collaborative projects, oral presentations and experiential learning.
