What is CAS 110?

CAS 110 is a small group, one-credit integrating seminar in which you meet weekly with your fellow ACE students and your peer mentor. This course receives a letter grade (A-F).  Some of the essential components of this seminar include:

• Developing critical thinking skills
• Learning about campus resources
• Connecting with faculty
• Exploring different major and career choices
• Developing successful studying strategies 
• Organizing and completing a community service project (4 hours)

Throughout the semester, students will submit brief journal reflections and small writing assignments.  As part of their career exploration project, students will have the opportunity to share a short presentation on a career area.  

In addition, out-of-class activities will be offered to help students get to know one another better.  Many ACE students elect to form study groups and attend faculty office hours and tutoring sessions.
