Succeeding as a STEM Major: The Florida State Experience (Fall only)
This course is designed to help set students up to succeed in their STEM major by focusing on developing healthy and effective study skills. Understanding the differences in writing and research techniques needed for academia, industry, and social media. As well as becoming networked to the available resources that the FSU community has to offer STEM students. Students in this class can expect to attend a weekly meeting, use Canvas to access course materials, and be willing to have open discussion about being a STEM major and the course topics.
To enroll, search for IDS 1107 in Schedule Assistant, then choose the section for "Succeeding in STEM".

Students will know where to find engagement activities well beyond their first term of enrollment and intentionally select engagement activities that aligns with their interests, Students will gain skills to find new communities as their identities develop, Students will develop personal, social and professional awareness
1. Over the course of the semester I plan to bring in a variety of guest speakers to talk about the different types of resources and programs available on campus. Using the material from the guests lectures along with group activities and discussions students will explore areas of interests to them and identify resources and activities that can help them reach their goals. I want them to understand how to find information about programs and activities and not just tell them about everything. The students will think critically about where they can go in order to grow beyond the classroom.
2. Through the use of many in-class group activities the students will be interacting with each other and learning from one another. It is my hope that with these interactions students will identify each other in shared class and programs so that they can build relationships during their first year. The use of the guest lectures is designed to show the variety of places students can go to connect to one another as well as where they can seek help later down the road. By exposing students to resources such as their librarian and the campus tutors getting help for succeeding in class should be easier.
3. As a freshman some students are still exploring what exactly appeals to them, this class is designed to help them explore by introducing them to resources and activities on campus. There will be discussions and activities designed to make them think about how what they do outside of the classroom can benefit them once they leave FSU. By giving them a foundation to develop healthy study habits and then leading them explore industry, academia, and social media versions of science it is my hope that these students will leave this class with ideas about where they want to take their science education.
