Journal of the Freshman Year Experience & Students in Transition, v8 n2 p57-78 1996
Discussion of a Dickinson College (Pennsylvania) first-year seminar identifies its teaching objectives, describes class activities, and examines transcripts from the simulation of a negotiation, the course's capstone experience. Evidence suggests the students mastered information and concepts, were thinking critically about issues, had developed a personal stake in the simulation, and had enhanced appreciation of multicultural issues.
