This course invites students on a quest for meaning in the context of a time in which traditional meanings and definitions have been challenged by rapidly-shifting cultural and religious values. The First Year Seminar offers the excitement and challenge of working in a small group with a senior professor and fellow students on a topic of special interest. The seminars provide a unique opportunity to explore ideas and cutting-edge topics in depth, while collaborating with other students and working closely with a faculty member in formal and informal settings.
Emphasis is on discussion, papers, and in-class presentations rather than on quizzes and exams.
