Freshman Seminar Program
Student Comments
| “I enjoyed this seminar as well as
another seminar that I took. These seminars are a good idea because
they’re for interested students and aren’t mandatory like
courses for general education. Gives students a chance to explore other fields of education without very high
stakes.” |
| “I
really like Freshman Seminars…It really is awesome to learn stuff you
want to know about without the pressure.” |
| “Have
as many different seminars at as many different times as possible.” |
| “This
class was awesome. I sort of wish I were a
major so I could take more classes taught by Professor
. The individual attention and small group environment allowed for intelligent discussions
and a lot of learning. I really enjoyed Professor ’s class. He exposed me to a lot of new topics of the world.
Professor made this class what it is. I would take it again if I could, even for no credit. Thanks.” |
| “I
loved it. Thanks for letting
us participate in this program. I
would definitely recommend it to other people.” |
| “Small
classes (for freshmen) enable students to be more vocal – which can be
more difficult in classes where everyone is older.” |
| “Freshman
Seminars are great because they humanize formerly intimidating professors.
We are learning for the sake of learning.
The pressures of performing well or competing with our peers are
nonexistent.” |
| “I
learned so much from this seminar! Thanks
for creating such an open forum for real discussion.
It was a great experience and I can’t wait to take the expanded
class in a few years.” |
| “The
instructor is very well educated on the subject of the Freshman Seminar
and is excellent at teaching it. He is enthusiastic and fun, which makes you want to learn
even more. Also, he was able
to answer any question (and there were many) very well too.” |
| “Helps
with deciding major/field of study.” |
| “Pass/No
Pass…yet doesn’t make the student do the “bare minimum”.
Classes are based on choice and interest…learning without
pressure.” |
