<p>For any student who has already gone to FTCAP, could you speak to how important the FTCAP homework is?</p>
<p>Did you need to have answers to the questions such as: "How will the major(s) you are targeting help you develop the basic problem-solving, communication, and intercultural skills needed by all college graduates?"
or
"Review the titles and descriptions of three 400-level courses included in your top major(s). What are your impressions after reading these descriptions? Do you think you will like these courses?"</p>
<p>They dont look at it.</p>
<p>Did FTCAP this week. Scheduling for most colleges will be much simpler if you’ve done the homework, even if they do not check your work and ask to see it. Think of it as an intro to college life — people in authority will give you tasks with no immediate apparent value, and you can choose to ignore their input and not do it, or go ahead and assume there is a good reason they’ve asked!</p>
<p>I would at least do the part where you select classes from each gen. ed. area that interest you, since you’ll be picking your fall schedule at FTCAP.</p>
<p>I haven’t gone to FTCAP yet, but friends at my school have, and they said they forgot to do it and the mentors just told them it was no big deal. So don’t worry about it that much.</p>
<p>They say in the brochure they don’t look. Just make sure you know what classes you want or what you’re interested in atleast. Plus they have the course descriptions and a lesson plan when you schedule your classes anyways.</p>
<p>H and I are always amazed at how many students try to get as little as possible out of their $100K educations, e.g. “Do we have to go to lectures?”, “Do we have to do the homework?”</p>
