Abstract
The Freshman Chemistry Seminar at Northeast Missouri State University is a one-credit-hour course whose objectives include: familiarizing the students with opportunities in chemistry-related careers, encouraging thought about the personality characteristics of a good scientist, introducing special topics in chemistry that are not routinely covered in general chemistry, and generating a cohesive community of learners among the freshman chemistry majors. The course activities include career related seminars given in class, evaluation of scientists' personalities in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episodes, a tie-dye mixer, faculty interviews, and developing an academic Four-Year-Plan.
