Hello BEG1b,
I just wanted to do a quick recap of the important things to remember from today’s class. This is also for any of you who missed the class. REMEMBER ATTENDANCE and BEING ON TIME IS ESSENTIAL for passing the class!
The goals of today’s class:
- To welcome students to the College and ease you guys into conversations with each other.
- Establish my role as peer mentor and your roles as students in the course and at Baruch College.
- Allow you guys to understand College Culture and what to expect in your first year.
- Class guidelines and expectations.
You received your Planners today, and as I stated in class, they are so important for you to use and bring to each freshman seminar class. I showed you some of the important pages in it for your freshman seminar experience such as pages 33 and 35. I also asked that you all take some time to go over the first 50 or so pages during your free time so that you can get more information about Baruch.
We also had some fun getting to know each other in a speed meeting round which we will continue quickly at our next session.
Lastly, we went over Baruch Culture.
