Freshman Foundations CourseThe Freshman Foundations Course (FFC) is your entry into Chapman’s general education program. This course is an introduction to university-level thinking—to critical inquiry and reflection--and in this way it is foundational to your future learning. In this course you will work independently and collaboratively to frame issues and questions that have engaged the intellectual interests of historians, philosophers, literary and fine arts critics, scientists, economists, and political theorists over the centuries. Taught by a select group of faculty who are committed to supporting students in their transition to university-level inquiry, FFC immerses you in the intellectual world of the academy.The course is designed to support development of advanced critical thinking, writing, and oral communications skills as you critically read, discuss, and analyze primary texts that have been culturally influential. While FFC faculty teach the course from many perspectives, all address fundamental issues in ethics and morality and encourage your ability to use ethical analysis and moral reasoning in the pursuit of a more just and humane world. |
