Course Connections
During their first semester, students take three courses that are connected in readings, projects, and themes.
| POLS 1000 | American and Wyoming Government | (lecture and exam) |
| ENGL 1010 | College Composition & Rhetoric | (reading and writing) |
| UWYO 1450 | Critical Reflection in Intellectual Communities | (writing and research) |
More information on classes is available here.
Students
enroll in a fourth Synergy course their second semester, Introduction
to Public Speaking (COJO 1010), which builds on themes and assignments
begun in the first-semester Synergy courses.
The composition,
intellectual community, and public speaking courses work together to
provide a focused writing-and-speaking cohort designed for maximum
student-teacher interaction. Enrollment for these courses is lower than
enrollment in regular sections. American and Wyoming Government (POLS
1000) is a large-enrollment course that introduces students to the
expectations of university lecture and exam based courses.
Primary and Secondary Research
Students learn college research skills in all courses and learn field research strategies in the Intellectual Communities course.
