Humanities 300
DESCRIPTION OF HUM 300:
Mentoring in the Humanities: Each student serves as a mentor in one section of Humanities 100, the
required First-Year Seminar course. Mentors attend all Hum 100 classes
and co-curricular events and complete all of the readings. They do not
take exams, write papers, or participate in the evaluation of students
in HUM
100. The mentor is to act as a peer in helping first-year students make
the transition from high school to college. They hold study sessions and
help students with note taking, writing assignments, and the development
of proper study skills. They work closely with faculty in developing the
means
to good mentoring in their section of Hum 100. They meet with the
First-Year Seminar Program Director one hour each week to review their
work and to discuss pedagogical issues associated with teaching the
humanities. Mentors are selected by an application process in the
spring. 4 credits.
