<p>This question goes out to current students, really....</p>
<p>Do they generally require as much work as a normal class?</p>
<p>Do most freshmen take a seminar?</p>
<p>Is it OK if you're interested in taking a certain seminar but don't have much background in the subject matter?</p>
<p>Ultimately...... are they worth it?
:) Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Ooooh, I was going to ask the same exact thing, but oh well, knowing me if I do the seminars I'll end up doing Calculating Pi or Chess and Mathematics.</p>
<p>You should definitely take one. There is such a great variety of seminars, you get to take a small class with a professor, they're pass/fail, etc. . . . </p>
<p>It's worth it. I don't know of anyone who really disliked their seminar.</p>
<p>Definitely take one! They can be so interesting + it makes your freshman year a <em>lot</em> easier to have a low-key, pass fail class (although a couple seminars are tough).</p>
<p>I recommend my seminar, Law of the Internet, for people interested in tech OR law.</p>
<p>whats a seminar im about to be a freshmen in hs too and at your highschool you take law...OMG i wana take it too</p>
<p>the seminars are for freshmen at harvard, not for freshmen in high school.</p>
<p>Are Advanced Standing students allowed to take Freshman seminars? In other words, do Advanced Standing students enter as freshmen or sophomores?</p>
<p>Advanced Standing students can take freshman seminars. I believe advanced standing isn't "activated" until sophomore year.</p>
