Toolkit: Columbus State University First Year Experience

First Year Students & the Perspectives Seminar

Columbus State University

This set of freshman seminar courses will approach real-world problem-solving in relation to global civic literacy. Students will be prepared to present logical, informed, and evidenced-based solutions to real-world problems, identify and access resources for academic success, articulate one’s identity in a global context, identify various perspectives and experiences that inform one’s global identity, apply knowledge and skills to real world situations and problems. Instructors choose the topic for their courses as well as which modules or resources from the curriculum to integrate into learning activities and assignments.
