LU 1103 - Lipscomb Seminar (3)

The introduction to university-level reading, writing and critical thinking required during the first semester at Lipscomb for all first-year students except those who are required to take Developmental Seminar. Discussion oriented and writing-intensive, the Lipscomb Seminar introduces students to the intellectual endeavor of liberal arts education from a Christian perspective in small group settings designed to develop mentoring relationships, to provoke important questions, to facilitate thoughtful discussion, and to promote critical examination of moral, ethical, social and spiritual issues. Students may not withdraw from this course unless they are withdrawing from the university. This course may satisfy the SALT Tier II requirement. Prerequisite: a score of 20 or better on the English portion of the ACT or a score of 480 or better on the verbal portion of the SAT. A grade of “C” or higher in LU 1103 is necessary to enroll in EN 1313. Instructors may assign a grade of “NC” (no credit) to diligent students who nevertheless fail to earn a “C.” However, instructors reserve the right to assign an “F” when, in their opinion, students do not demonstrate satisfactory effort. Students who do not earn a “C” in LU 1103 must retake the course the subsequent spring semester. No AP, CLEP, or “Dual Enrollment” credit is accepted for this course.\
