Class: Frohnmayer’s students say they expect a challenge ■ Continued from Page 1 "The Prince,” by Machiavelli; “Great Men, Great Thoughts and the Environment,” by William James; and “On Becoming Servant Leaders,” by Robert Greenleaf. Students will also be required to write one essay per week. Students agree that it’s going to be a chal lenging class, but they say it’s worth it. “You’ve just got to be on top of it; it just requires a lot of thinking,” said Gabe Dai ley, an accounting major. When the class acquires a group identi ty, Frohnmayer said he wants to further challenge them by engaging in a game enti tied "Diplomacy." Through this game, Frohnmayer said the students will break into groups and learn what it’s like to develop a policy for differ ent nations. “After that experience they should be able to reflect on what they learned about leadership,” Frohnmayer said. Frohnmayer’s class is one of almost 50 freshman seminars offered each year, which aim to have smaller class sizes and discussion groups. Bruch said the class size of 20 students contributes to his learning. “Because it’s a discussion course, it offers a forum for students to express them selves,” he said. “You’re not just getting ideas from textbooks, but from a professor and students. You can use the class as a sounding board for your ideas.” Dailey said the small class creates a laid back atmosphere. “Everyone is easy going,” he said. “Everyone wants to pitch in and give their point of view.” Bruch said one of the main benefits of the class is that all the students chose to take the class. “All the students want to be there, they are enthusiastic, and I think we’ll feed off each other and drive each other to do bet ter,” he said. So far, Frohnmayer said he’s impressed with the students. “They’re really a mature, outgoing group,” he said. And the students are equally impressed with their instructor. “He seems very enthusiastic,” Bruch said. “He seems like somebody who really does want to get back to why he got into this profession — teaching. His enthusiasm will carry a long way. “I think I could learn a lot from him.” Tennis & Racquetball Restring Specials Reg. $15.00 15g, 16g Reg. $20.00 15g, 16g I I I l http://www efh.org/~sing/cttb email: sing@efh.org A/'A E R.
