Freshman Seminar meets once a week. Students are divided into cohorts of approximately 20 students each. Three cohorts meet together as a large group for 45 minutes and then meet as cohorts for 1 hour. The large groups meets in the lecture hall of the Science Building. The smaller cohort sessions are held in nearby classrooms.
New students are often nervous about starting college.
They find that the methods of taking notes, studying, and taking tests in high school don t work in college. Also, new students don t know what campus resources are available to them. We want to help make the first semester, and the rest of a student s time at Bloomfield, a good experience. The Freshman Seminar also has a co-curricular element. Students are required to attend at least two co-curricular activities during the semester.
