Freshman
Seminar
UN 100B is a Freshman
Seminar course for students selected from the College
Transitions Program. The course focuses on the academic strategies,
resource knowledge, and social networking necessary for freshmen
to make the transition to college life. This course is to be
taken in conjunction with the College
Transitions Program (CTP).
Students enrolled in
a Freshmen Seminar course usually take other classes together;
what we call a block of courses. For example, the same twenty
students enrolled in UN 100 will also take EN 111 College Composition,
CIS 110 Computer Information Systems, and another course.
There
are eight broad objectives for the Freshmen Seminar, which are
accomplished during the semester. These objectives are to:
-
Help
students explore new ways of learning, retaining, and relaying
material to which they are exposed in the classroom and in
their assigned and optional reading assignments.
-
Assist
Students in further development of their skills in written
and oral communication.
-
Introduce
students to and help them become users of campus and community
resources.
-
Engage
students in career exploration and confirmation activities.
-
Help
students understand the academic and career planning process
and its importance.
-
Help
students develop connections with instructors, teaching assistants,
peers, and other members of the campus community
-
Increase
self-awareness and equip students to use that knowledge to
assist with future planning.
-
Introduce
students to the diversity and unique opportunities present
in college life.
