| Description |
First-year seminars can increase student retention and improve academic performance-but only if the seminar is designed and implemented well. Considerations include course outcomes, curriculum design, credit versus non-credit, and seminar funding.
Join us for this two-part webcast to learn how to design and implement successful first-year seminars that contribute to student performance and persistence. Both institutions that are creating a first-year seminar from scratch and those that are trying to improve an existing program will benefit from this two-part webcast.
In the first session, institutional researchers, business affairs administrators, registrars, academic affairs administrators, student affairs administrators, and first-year seminar coordinators/directors will learn:
* Different program structures that might work for your campus
* Implementation considerations
* Funding considerations
In the second session, faculty/staff and first-year seminar coordinators who create and teach the first-year seminar/student success courses will learn:
* Course outcomes and goals
* Key components to include in your seminar
* Appropriate learning activities for different parts of the course
