When Freshman Seminar comes up in a conversation, the things said are usually not positive. Many kids consider the course a waste of time. I went into the class thinking that it was going to focus on career exploration. I thought it was going to teach us study skills and information that would be helpful for high school and college. Unfortunately, this class is not effective as it could be. At the beginning of the year, Freshman Seminar was held in AB2. When it was located in this room, things seemed to be under control and students cooperated well with the teachers. It was a place where the teachers didn’t have to spend time raising their voices in order to keep the class calm and focused. But, when class is in the library it leads to excessive talking amongst the students and many interruptions from upperclassmen entering and exiting the library during the period. The library is very chaotic and only leads to more yelling from the teachers and less cooperation from the students. I think that in order for our freshman seminar to be efficient it needs to be moved from the library back to AB2. I also think that this class would be more beneficial to us if we did more career preparation at different times throughout the year. Every few weeks we could research a new career. This would give us a better idea of what classes to take in high school and what goals to work towards. With a few changes, Freshman Seminar could be a class that students think of with a positive attitude.
