ALL STUDENTS AT UCSD

SUBJECT:    New Senior Seminar Program 2006-07

It is my pleasure to announce the new UCSD Senior Seminar Program, beginning in the 2006-07 academic year. Senior Seminars cover a wide range of exciting and provocative topics. This new program will provide you with an additional opportunity to strengthen relationships with faculty in a small class environment and explore advanced topics of mutual interest.

WHAT DOES A SENIOR SEMINAR OFFER?

* Small, informal classes (20-student limit).
* An opportunity to strengthen relationships with faculty members.
* An opportunity to earn 1 unit of credit on a P/NP basis - you may enroll in several different seminars during your academic career.

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU IN A SENIOR SEMINAR?

* Seminar attendance is an important factor in your learning due to the reduced workload of a 1-unit course.

* Senior Seminars meet for 8 to 10 hours during the quarter (most seminars meet once a week).

* Senior Seminars may require readings, projects, short papers, or quizzes.

* It is anticipated that 1-2 hours of work per week can be expected outside of the seminar.

A list of the Fall Quarter 2006 Senior Seminars is given below. Enrollment in a Senior Seminar requires a Department stamp. Please visit the Senior Seminar Program website for more details. http://academicaffairs.ucsd.edu/r/seniorseminars.html

I hope that you will consider taking advantage of this exciting new program. Best wishes for a rewarding 2006-07 academic year.
