FIG Freshman Interest Group Ropes Course - UNIV150 takes students from the classroom to the Ropes Course for an exercise in team work. A FIG is a set of three courses taken in common by a maximum of 25 students. One or two of the classes will consist of only the FIG students, and in the others the FIG students are part of a larger class.
Students also select one or two courses outside the package to meet their individual needs.
All of the courses are taught by excellent instructors and count toward university requirements. FIGs also make registration easier because space in the FIG courses is guaranteed. You can always find a study partner. I thought that being in a class with the same people all semester was going to get boring, but it was so much fun. One of the biggest advantages of being in a FIG is the small classes allow you to form bonds with your classmates.
