University Studies 101 is a brief orientation course for new students at the University. It is intended to welcome you to the University community and introduce you to the values and commitments of the University. This orientation course will help you find your bearings at the University of Mississippi. You will learn here practical details useful in making a successful transition from high school to the University. US 101 is a ZWIF graded course, meeting for approximately the first five weeks of the semester.
Attendance is required at all sessions.
Prior to each regular classroom session, you will read a chapter from the course text and prepare a written assignment to be submitted at the beginning of the class period. Fifty percent of your grade will come from your regular class written assignments, and fifty percent from the final examination. Your presence in class is as necessary to your education as your study outside class. Your participation is important, and you cannot participate unless you are present. You are expected to be present on time in your assigned seat, to listen and participate courteously in class, and to remain until dismissed from each session.
