LAS 30012 PROSEMINAR

Proseminar is the first course in Ottawa University's degree completion program. In addition to introducing students to the four breadth areas, this course will address the task of educational planning, but do so in the larger context of self-examination in the course of which students will develop a learning autobiography in which they reflect on the history of their learning experiences (formal and informal) in relation to the four breadth areas, and assess the strengths and weaknesses of their preparation. Finally, the course will serve as an introduction to the Ottawa University program, allowing students to get a sense of the nature and level of the University's expectations and reintroducing students who have been away from formal education for some time to the character and rhythms of the academic enterprise.
