Description:
This set of readings was created for the required First Year Seminar for students at Plymouth State University but the readings have broad appeal for first year college students at other institutions. The topics covered include the importance of general education, habits of mind to be fostered during college, working on wicked problems, the design thinking process for project development, the value of interdisciplinarity, and information literacy in a digital world.
PSU’s existing OER is used in all sections of our FYS but it includes some information which is very specific to PSU. For example, there is a detailed section about our particular General Education requirements. The existing OER can be found at
