freshman seminars

<p>any past experiences? pos/neg?
do people usually take one or a couple?
thanks!</p>

<p>oh and is it recommended to take one within or outside of your major?</p>

<p>they're one measly unit each, so take whatever suits your fancy.</p>

<p>(but i've always been of the one-track mind, and wasn't overly interested in things outside my major)</p>

<p>Yes, they're interesting and worthwhile (at least two of my three were). None of the seminars I took were in my major.</p>

<p>I've taken a total of 4 seminars so far (2 in my 1st year and 2 in my 2nd year). They're that damn good. Well, of course, if you choose a seminar that sparks your interest. The purpose of the freshmen seminar program is to give you a different way of taking a course that interests you, but doesn't require a lot of work. All you do is share your opinions and partake in discussions. I'd recommend you taking them because you get to interact with the professor a lot (it's a max of 20 students) and there are a variety of topics for you to choose from.</p>

<p>Yeah, the seminars tend to be worthwhile. Just be wary of some that make you do a considerable amount of work. </p>

<p>At the very least, the seminars will give you extra units which could possibly help you get an earlier enrollment time in the coming quarters.</p>
