Each semester, there are certain seminars that Teaching Fellows and Maynard Scholars must attend. These seminars differ for each class. For sophomores, juniors, and seniors, there are three seminars each semester. Freshmen are a little different. There are still seminars to attend in the spring semester, but in the fall freshmen take a class.
This class is called Student Development and Learning in Higher Education. We refer to it, lovingly, as COAD 1000. This is a class that is designed to help students with the transition from high school into college. We do many fun activities as well as talk about different events happening on campus. Although the class is an hour and fifty minutes long, I can personally confess that it goes by in a flash. After taking this class, you will have a much better knowledge about how to find things to do on campus. It helps you see who you are as a person and what study method is best for your personality type. Probably the best thing that it helps with is learning where everything is. There are a lot of buildings and a lot of names to know, and it helps to have teachers that you already know that you can talk to. You might think that it’s a waste of time, but it’s information you can’t afford to miss.
