In our final weeks, we will spend some time exploring your college catalog and website. Specifically, we want to learn something about the academic choices you have for first and second year classes. Explore your catalog, either online or in print form, and use this sheet (or a computer) to sketch out some of the requirements and possibilities for your first classes. Consider the following questions as you write a summary.

1. What classes are you required to take?
2. Which choices among the required courses look interesting to you?
3. As you make these choices, what are your aims? Only to satisfy the requirements and move on to classes in your major? Or are you curious about different subjects? Are you looking to discover what major would interest you?
4. How open are you to courses and fields you haven’t considered before? Which classes look interesting for trying new things?
5. Which classes seem to include writing?

Write a paragraph answering some of these questions and responding to the overall question of what classes you might choose.

PowerPoint slides requirements:

1. Title Page (name, college, title, college logo?)
2. Freshman year courses (or use two slides)
3. Sophomore year courses (or use two slides)
4. Explanation of choices and college’s requirements
5. Response from current student or alumni about reading or writing (from an interview that you conduct by phone, Facebook, text message, or email)
6. Your college’s plagiarism policies (1^st and 2^nd offenses)
7. Any advice about college (from self-help books or websites)
