• Freshman Academic Review - Fall Term

  My Fall semester schedule was as follows:

  C/I Freshman Seminar Spanish 102

  Introduction to Sociology

  Introduction to Creative Writing

  At Austin College your Freshman Seminar - C/I class is unavoidable. All incoming Freshman are going to take a C/I class. Each pool of courses changes each school year.

  Spanish 102 focused mostly on verb conjugation, sentience structure; and towards the end, the proper use or por and para, and the introduction of indicatives, subjunctives, a superlatives. There is one oral final and one written final.

  Introduction to Sociology focused mainly on Marxist theory. Also, the theory of the Unconscious Mind was discussed in depth. Sections included studies over mental health, deviant behavior, religion, race, homosexuality, success, and the family. Midterms and Finals were both response essays.

  Introduction to Creative Writing was a class where students were required to read The Mind's Eye and pull from it. Students were expected to put forth a poem a week for critiques. Toward the end of the semester two students were to submit a short story on an assigned date for critique until the end of the course. The class included one formal essay. The final was a portfolio/anthology. GPA Booster.

  My opinions going into Christmas break were: Do the reading. Do the work. Make good grades.
