Designed by the University 101 staff and campus partners at the University of South Carolina, this resource manual provides instructional faculty with a how-to guide for designing, managing, teaching, and evaluating student work in the first-year seminar. The manual includes a detailed discussion of course management that offers suggestions for working with first-year students, designing a syllabus, establishing grading policies, building community in the classroom, and working with a peer leader. Chapters on topics common to first-year seminars offer resources for students and suggested assignments and classroom activities. Presented as PDF and Word documents on a CD-Rom, the materials can be adapted for particular campus contexts.
