Residence Halls LEAPResidence Halls LEAP is for first year students living on campus. Classes are held in the LEAP House, which is the historic Fort Douglas building (now remodeled) conveniently located next door to the Heritage Center. It feels more like a home than a classroom. Residence Halls LEAP students can choose to enroll in linked Writing 2010 classes, which are reserved for LEAP students living in the Halls and are held in the Heritage Center right before or right after your LEAP class. For students who are living in the Halls, there are many advantages to signing up for Residence Halls LEAP: There is no commute, so you don’t have to get up as early to make it to your first class!Residence Halls LEAP, like other LEAP classes, satisfies two general Education requirements (Humanities and Social Science) as well as the diversity requirement. The classes are small, between 15 and 30 students, and instruction is by discussion and small group work. There will be a Peer Advisor—a second year student who did LEAP the year before—assigned to each class to answer questions and offer advice and guidance. The class is designed to teach you the general academic skills you’ll need to be successful in your classes at the university (close reading, critical thinking, argumentative writing, research skills) as well as to introduce you to the fundamental questions and modes of inquiry governing research in humanities and social sciences. |
