Freshman Seminar

Beginning of the year, since I didnt apply to music school in time, and therfore had not declared a major I got stuck in this "university curriculum" bullshit. This pretty much means I had to take a freshman seminar class.

Now this class, was COMPLETE HELL it was like I was in middle school all over again.

After having a huge argument with my dad that included lots of screaming over the phone (happened in the caf, everyone watching me like I'm an idiot) he wont let me drop the class

Long story short, I go all of 5 times over the course of the semester, Get up and present on a book I'd already read before and didnt turn in the final

You're supposed to lose points for absences

I ended up with a BA

moral of the story, if you go to Western michigan, you dont have to show up to FYE to pass

Awesome

I fucking hated seminar.

Its just their way of making you stay on Fridays.

Your daddy still tells u wot to do? How old are you? :shifty:

HopeYouDie what is wrong with you?

I didn't have to have a Freshman Seminar class.

Lucky me.

Senior Seminar is just as fun before I switched majors from Engineering to IS&T, I took one, and just like Nadia said, it's a way to make you stay on Fridays. It wasn't nearly as bad as you mention, but then again, majority of it was a focused talk on what the hell you will do once you leave college. Meh, I got an A for it, and all you had to do was sign a piece of paper saying you showed up. So, overall, quite the opposite to your frosh seminar.

<----- is a freshman music major

I failed seminar because I didnt go lol

Wait.

There is a senior seminar?

I switched schools.

At my first school we had a freshman orientation on our schedule, but it wasnt a class. We just had to go to it before teh semester.

At the school i go to now, it was an actual class, and I thought it was like my previous school so i never went. :ppslash:

Well, I think it depends upon the major you are in. At the time, I was in Engineering Technology (the default engineering major if you didn't know if you wanted mech, elec, or whatever), and I took it then. It's only a one credit course, every Friday, as you mentioned. No real thought involved, hell one of my group partners came in drunk most the time. Every week it was just a different topic on trying to prep you for the real world of job hunting. Mind you, this was last Fall that I took the class, so the economy wasn't in shit-hit-the-fan mode just quite yet. I think it will vary upon major if you need to take the course or not. Check your curriculum and it should be plastered on there if you need it. Plus, it probably depend where you go too. I'm at Temple currently, and in Info Tech, and there's no seminar.

Freshman Seminar is a nice gpa booster and I also learned that there are over 100 types of HPV and HPV genital warts are wayyyyy worse than shitty genital warts.

I didn't go to college, yet.

Don't go, there's no point. Just hit up a sales position after high school, you'll be fine.
