SALEM 110 - First Year Experience

3 Hour(s)

This course provides first-year students with an interdisciplinary introduction to the liberal arts and enhances the critical thinking and communication skills necessary for academic success. In small seminars conducted by their faculty advisors, students explore significant social issues in a historical context and participate in collaborative creative projects. The social issues that form course topics vary by section, but all include critical questions regarding concepts of health-whether personal, communal, environmental, or global-and emphasize relevance to women. The course emphasizes communication skills: speaking, writing, information literacy, and using technology as a tool in communication. A writing-intensive course-does not meet the writing intensive general education requirement.
