UNIV 349 - Transfer Year Seminar

Description

Hours: Three hours lecture per week Prerequisite: Junior Standing or Consent of Instructor Description: This interdisciplinary seminar for first year transfer students promotes successful intellectual and social transition to CSU Channel Islands through a problem-based approach. Students examine the modern world and issues facing societies from multiple perspectives, and develop and convey to others analyses of and solutions to problems using the methodologies, tools and techniques of academic disciplines. Students will develop inquiry skills that emphasize critical thinking and independent learning as well as identify how universities and specific disciplines relate to social problems. The seminar promotes student reflection on prior learning at other institutions and its relationship to the CI mission and their degree program, and aims to increase student engagement in intellectual life at the university. Themes will vary. Students will meet outside of class for one hour on a bi-weekly basis in small groups with a peer leader.
