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.” |
