First Year Inquiry

Catalog description

All incoming first-year students at Augustana College will have the opportunity to reflect on the question "How do you know what you think you know, and to what extent can you be certain?" In FYI 101, students will actively engage topics and methods that are the hallmarks of a liberal arts education, and will thereby develop the skills that define independent thought. Throughout the term, students will work to improve their active reading skills, their understanding of information literacy, and their appreciation of writing as an ongoing process of inquiry and reflection.
