This seminar course is designed to introduce first-year students to the spirit of academic excellence and intellectual curiosity that lies at the heart of learning. All First-Year Seminar courses explore a theme in depth. FYS 103 will explore the selected theme through the lens of the natural sciences, their effects on society, and how the pursuit of science has been influenced by social forces. Through inquiry-based instruction and active learning, students develop into self-directed problem-solvers. Coursework will build throughout the semester toward a culminating project in various media. Through presentations, guest speakers, and field trips, students will be exposed to professions and fields of study in the natural sciences.
