What is the FYS Summer Seminar?
Currently, the FYS Summer Seminar constitutes one of the main venues through which we are able to carry out serious discussions about pedagogy as it related to university education and especially the training of first year students who are making a very important transition to academic life. The summer seminar, as described in more detail within the Philosophy section of this website provides an opportunity for FYS instructors and teaching assistants to discuss pedagogic goals and strategies. External speakers and facilitators are brought in to assist us with the process during these two-day paid workshops.
