OE - The Fall Semester Oregon Extension students come from both genders and all the majors. Some have long hair and some don't. They vary widely in their life experience, points of view and levels of self-confidence.
Students come to the Oregon Extension to work at becoming serious thinkers and learners.
The seminar and tutorial approach appeals to sophomores and juniors who want to spend a semester in concentrated study, undistracted by the whirlwind of campus life. Seniors and graduates appreciate the chance to study a curriculum well-suited to prepare them for graduate school. That means students want to engage books seriously enough to take notes on them and join other students and faculty members in lively conversation about them. They want to write as clearly as possible about the ideas and feelings their reading provokes, and in some instances share their writing with others. OE students take well to these challenges, even if they have never experienced learning in these ways before.
