First-Year Seminar in Science

Undergraduate

First-year students in the Faculty of Science will engage with faculty experts on a specific science topic of broad, interdisciplinary interest. Enrolment is limited to 24 students per section to allow for rich engagement between faculty and students, group discussions, and creative lines of inquiry. Classes will meet on average for an hour per week, and assessments will be based on in-class reflective exercises. The science topic of the First-Year Seminar will vary depending on the instructor(s) of that section. Course is open to first-year Science students only. A student may take the First-Year Seminar course only once. (Non-credit course. However, the course will appear on the student transcript. Participation will count towards activities leading to the L.E.A.D. medallion in the Faculty of Science.)
