UNIV 350B - Transfer Year Seminar B

Description

Hours: Three hours seminar per week Prerequisite: Junior Standing and successful completion of Golden Four GE Areas (A1, A2, A3, B4) Description: Each interdisciplinary seminar for first-year, transfer students promotes successful intellectual and social transition to CSU Channel Islands and complements their knowledge 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, with emphasis on STEM. 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 students' 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 in small groups with a peer leader for one hour on a bi-weekly to monthly basis. Previously UNIV 349.
