AESE First Year Seminar

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to provide a reflective experience as students begin their academic careers at the Pennsylvania State University. It will primarily be taught via guest lecturers and small group discussion. Both the instructor and students within the course will create and maintain a shared learning environment centered on the critical reflection of the first-year college experience. Students will also explore the four undergraduate majors within the Department of Agricultural Economics, Sociology, and Education (AESE) and learn career development basics. The course involves some group discussions, guest presenters, short writing assignments and other homework assignments, both during and outside of class.
