FYS 120 First Year Seminar

This course transitions Fayette Campus students to higher education and prepares them for their academic journey. Faculty will guide students through an academic conversation on an instructor-selected topic to develop intellectual curiosity and practice critical thinking skills. An emphasis is placed on active-participatory learning through collaboration, academic discussions, oral presentations, and writing. Throughout the course, students will also engage in self-exploration and reflection activities designed to foster academic and personal success in areas such as motivation, self-awareness, responsibility, time management, study skills, academic integrity, etc. Meets the success in higher education requirement in The Peacock Professional Experience (“general education”). Note: It is an expectation that all students with fewer than 24 semester hours of transfer credit take the FYS course during their first year of enrollment.
