First-Year Seminars (FYS) constitute a common and academically significant experience in a student’s first year at Converse University. All incoming first- year students are required to take a 3-credit hour FYS in the fall semester, choosing from a variety of discipline specific topics. Each FYS carries the corresponding departmental prefix, but with a common course number. Lecture format only. FYS in chemistry will explore modern topics in chemistry as determined by the instructor. Special emphasis is given to cultivating critical thinking, effective speaking and writing skills. Offered periodically.
