Welcome to the FYE 100 Course Guide. This guide is designed to familiarize first-year students with all the resources available for success in the FYE 100 course. Click on the purple tabs above for more information. The FYE 100 course is designed to support first-year students as they transition to academic life at Defiance College. The program engages and encourages students to become active members of their new DC community by establishing college-level academic strategies and encouraging self-awareness; by exposing them to academic and cocurricular opportunities, such as the Common Read with its annual author visit; and by introducing basic college research skills through the completion of an Inquiry Research assignment tailored to the student's experiences. In addition, via targeted assignments, FYE students work closely with their faculty advisors to create an academic plan for their college education and future. |
