FYS 111 First Year Seminar II (FS)
The purpose of this course is to help students develop the ethical thinking as well as written and oral communication skills necessary to engage ethical questions and to help them recognize that grappling with such questions in a communal context is at the heart of a responsible, well-lived life. The focus of these seminar courses is on exposing students to difficult ethical questions and helping them learn the process of formulating thoughtful, intellectually appropriate responses. As such, courses will introduce students to a variety of readings or perspectives related to the central question and help them develop the ethical thinking skills necessary to analyze these perspectives. Courses will help students develop the ability to effectively articulate their views as well as speak and write persuasively about them.
