FYS-110 First Year Seminar in Humanities
This seminar will prepare first-year learners to study in the Humanities by inviting them to learn and practice explicit skills and strategies necessary for academic inquiry within the discipline. Through critical and creative thinking, reading, and writing, each seminar will focus on a specific question, problem or theme within the Humanities. This will give students a context within which to actively engage, practice, and develop the habits-of-mind central to a Liberal Arts education. The seminar will also offer ample opportunities for learners to become engaged members of FLCC's academic community through both curricular and co-curricular experiences. Additionally, students will be invited to reflect on their own learning processes and academic goals in order to better insure academic and life success at FLCC.
