First Year Seminar 191MCS13 - FYS-JoiningComp&InfoCommunity

This class will spend time presenting ideas, participating in activities, and engaging in discussion around acclimating to the first-year at CICS and, more generally, at UMass. Readings and activities will expose students to some of the current topics in computing, the resources and experience of being a CICS student, and let students build community with their peers in and outside the lecture. This includes meeting with the Teaching Assistants of other courses, learning about the numerous academic and industry career paths via guest speakers, and group discussions to meet your peers. Our goal is to ensure that students can form an inclusive community at CICS and leave students excited for and prepared for the rest of their time at CICS.
