DHC Only Freshman Seminars

Open to 1st-and-2nd-Year DHC Students. These classes are mostly offered in Winter and Spring. Enrollment in DHC freshman seminars is limited to fifteen students.

Effective Fall 2007, in collaboration with the Teaching Resource Center (TRC), the DHC will be offering select 1- and 2-unit Freshman Seminars for DHC course credit. Taught by DHC faculty and only open to DHC students, these DHC Freshman Seminar courses focus on a current intellectual interest of the faculty member. Freshman Seminars emphasize student participation, providing intense intellectual exchange among students and between student and teacher. The small size (Enrollment is limited to 15) and nature of the seminar allows students to sharpen their critical reasoning. Students learn how to interact with faculty members and fellow students as intellectual colleagues. In short, the Freshman Seminar exposes the student to the "life of the mind" that characterizes much of what university work is about.
