<p>Hi guys. So, do freshmen classes normally have summer reading? And where can I find all of that type of information? I tried to follow the directions of a previous post about books needed for class, but couldn’t find it. And I’m really concerned about not being able to find anything on summer reading requirements. :-/</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
<p>Unless you’re in the Blount Undergraduate Initiative (that still exists, right?) or program similar that, then no. Normal classes aren’t going to require something like that, and if you were in a freshman program that had a summer list you would have been notified well before now.</p>
<p>I agree with the previous poster. If you would like to be a step ahead though, I suggest looking for your classes on your school websites and seeing some of the books. You COULD read some of the books to be a step ahead and have your questions prepared for when the class rolls around.</p>
<p>I will personally read some of Plato and Aristotle to get familiarized with the books we must read in our freshman core class.</p>
<p>I’m going to read the book for the CBE I’m taking sometime in the next three weeks. Once I get my textbooks, I’m definitely going to read as much of those as I can. It’s always nice to be a couple of steps ahead of the game. It would probably give you an idea for what to expect in your courses and give you a feel for the text so you can figure out how boring or interesting the reading is going to be, how long a chapter is, etc, so you can plan for reading assignments. Then again, that may be just my thing ;)</p>
<p>OA has a summer reading component. Just specific chapters - apparently not a whole lot.</p>
<p>Thanks! All of this helped a lot. I am an over-achiever, so I probably will read through some of my text books. hahah</p>
<p>And yes feenotype, Blount still exists. And thank goodness, I am not in it. Just in honors college. haha so no summer reading? finally!!</p>
