Course Description
Welcome to First Year Seminar in K-State Culture! Instead of listening passively to lectures, you will directly experience what a university is by attending the varied cultural and intellectual activities that occur at K-State. In this class, you will learn about the very broad range of experiences you can have in college, you will develop critical thinking skills, and hopefully you will come to understand how these experiences can make you a more well-rounded, academically proficient, and intelligent human being.
Each student is required to purchase a ticket packet at McCain Auditorium for $48 (available August 20th-September 4th) in lieu of a textbook. We will go to McCain to purchase our tickets as a class on the 28th. If you do not purchase your tickets then you are still expected to attend all the events on the same day as your class. In addition, your syllabus is your roadmap for the semester. You are expected to bring a copy of this syllabus to class every day.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Develop critical thinking skills.
- Express ideas and opinions thoughtfully and democratically.
- Work with others to learn about the university, its traditions and culture.
- Transform experience of attending events into critical observations in class and written reviews.
