<p>I think that the question is also to get you thinking about the seminar classes that you’ll take while you’re at Wake. During the first year, everyone has to take a First Year Seminar class (FYS) and most people have to take a writing seminar unless they’ve placed out of it. The point is to get freshman students into small classes (capped at about 15 students) that are similar to the classes they’ll enjoy when they get into the upper-level classes of their majors and minors.</p>
<p>My FYS is still one of the classes that I enjoyed most while I was at Wake. I get the feeling that a lot of the professors are teaching the things that they’re really interested in that don’t fit into the curriculum elsewhere. So were I answering this question, I would think of something that I really wanted to learn a little about and decide from whom I wanted to learn it. I wouldn’t assume that it had to be a serious topic, only that I was serious about wanting to know more about it.</p>
<p>To get an idea of some of the FYS classes that have been offered, here’s Wake’s website about them. There are links to lists of the classes that have been offered for the last few years: [WFU</a> | Wake Forest College | First Year Seminars](<a href=“http://college.wfu.edu/academics/fys.html]WFU”>http://college.wfu.edu/academics/fys.html).</p>
