The Seminar stresses active and informed participation in roundtable discussions. Discussions are based on reading assignments in philosophy, literature and the arts. The vast majority of class time is spent in these discussions. The instructors evaluation of your progress will be based on your class participation and your writing assignments. There are no exams or finals, but biweekly conferences with one or both teachers and weekly writing assignments are mandatory during the first semester.
Extra help is available for students wishing to improve reading, writing, or participation skills.
You must be a junior in order to enroll in HUEN 3100. HUEN 3100 is a prerequisite for HUEN 3200. Students who succeed in the Seminar demonstrate clear progress in learning to read closely and to state their ideas clearly when discussing and writing.
