During this academic year, Stetson celebrates the 10th<\/span><\/sup> anniversary of its signature First Year Seminar (FSEM) program and is well positioned to adopt an integrative strategy to facilities students\u2019 progress from novice to mastery of effective writing and research skills from their first through their senior year and beyond, she said.<\/p>\nOne goal is to present FSEM as the first of three common learning experiences that also include JSEM and the Senior Capstone.\u00a0\u00a0With writing, critical thinking, and information literacy as linchpins of the three core learning experiences, FSEM is positioned as the foundational course of each student\u2019s unique, integrative learning journey from first year to graduation and beyond.<\/p>\n
To facilitate and make transparent this trajectory, the FSEM Program will promote and reinforce shared understanding of FSEM learning outcomes by all stakeholders through focused workshops and other year-round events. Paramount to facilitating coherence across the arc of the student\u2019s tenure will be purposeful scaffolding of these outcomes to make the nature and reach of skills gained more transparent to the concerned and engaged\u00a0Professional Stetson Hatter<\/i> Graduate<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cI will work with the\u00a0Core Academic Experience Committee to adopt an integrative and interwoven core learning process,\u201d Thaver said. \u201cFor the FSEM program, this means intentionally creating coherence and consistency in a student\u2019s academic learning,\u00a0from admission, into the FSEM, and pulsating all the way through the rest of the curriculum, and ultimately, beyond Stetson.\u201d<\/p>\n
