FDS 100 Falcon Discovery Seminar     (3 credits)

The Falcon Discovery Seminar engages first year students in the university community and prepares them to be lifelong learners. A Bentley education is a transformative experience. Students must learn to navigate a variety of communities throughout their time here. After they graduate, they will join new communities and continue to do so throughout their lives. Communities take many forms and every community experiences problems. The problems are often complex and solutions are rarely straightforward. Problems can be multi-faceted, ambiguous, and contentious. The perception of a problem and its solutions can be fundamentally different based on perspectives and experiences. Communities can be a formidable force in working to solve problems; communities can also play a role in exacerbating problems. This course introduces students to the power of communities by framing the discussion of communities around an authentic problem of the faculty member’s choosing.

Typically Offered: Fall and Spring
