Otherwise known as freshman seminar. The name was a bit misleading– it’s just like any other class, but less pressure. I have mixed feelings about the whole experience. It was a time to relax and to start planning our future at Baruch, I’ll give it that. But the timing of the session was very problematic. Firstly, I think we had more time than we knew what to do with some days; 30-40 minutes would’ve been sufficient. Also, having the seminar at 1pm on Tuesdays was annoying enough. I missed many club meetings because of this timing, and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one. Additionally, I understand how the blog posts kept us focused on certain things, but I don’t see how useful it’ll ever be outside of this class. That being said, though, Lancia and Namit were very kind and friendly and seemed to genuinely care about the LC. In the end, I honestly think that we could’ve survived without Fro being mandatory; maybe for future improvements, Baruch should shorten the length of each session, the frequency, and make sure that it doesn’t coincide with club hours.
