FRESHMAN SEMINAR The Freshman Seminar (SL 1010*) is required for all entering first-year college students with fewer than six matriculated transfer credits. It is an extended orientation to the academic and social challenges of higher education and a preparation for the critical choices and decisions college students must make. *SL 1010 is a zero-credit course that counts toward bachelor’s degree requirements. SL 1010 introduces first year students to Polytechnic Institute of NYU, provides campus resources information, opportunities for them to develop new skills and supports their efforts to achieve success in the college environment. New academic challenges and responsibilities; new people and situations; and, new time demands and commitments are among the factors in the transition to college. The SL 1010 educational experience incorporates the richness of resources from both inside and outside the Polytechnic community. The seminar consists of a variety of guest lecturers, small group workshops, presentations and sessions reserved for small group discussion on topics of particular importance to college-aged students. This diversified experience sets the stage for all first year students at Polytechnic to explore why they chose Polytechnic, as well as how they can get the most out of their Polytechnic education. Topics covered in the course include: • Study skills (including note taking, test taking, effective reading) Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention |
