Academic Integrity Module | Freshman A&O
SCENARIO:
On a Sunday afternoon, Sam realizes they do not feel academically prepared for the week. They have a statistics exam on Monday and a project for their
philosophy class due on Tuesday morning. Sam really wants to do well in both courses, and they decide it would be a good idea to spend more time working
on the philosophy project.
To prepare for their statistics exams, they use their phone to take pictures of their notes to help them remember the formulas they need. During the exam, Sam
holds their phone under their desk and looks at the pictures to help them remember the formulas. They do the rest of the work for the exam on their own and
score a 92.

AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE (AOK) GOALS, INTERESTS, EXPERIENCES TOPICS
VLPA: Visual, Literary and Performing Arts
This area of knowledge asks questions about the meaning of and value in human
life, as well as the creation of effective expression of the human experience. The
term “arts” is used here in a very broad sense and suggests practices, engagements
and crafts of all kinds in addition to familiar studio traditions. Scholarship in this
area includes (but is not limited to): Art, Art History, Classics, Cinema Studies,
Communications, Drama, Design Studies, Literature and Languages.
I&S: Individuals & Societies
The I&S area of knowledge poses questions around the meaning and study of human
behavior both individually and socially. This includes the history, development and
dynamics of human behavior, as well as social and cultural institutions. Scholarship
in this area includes (but is not limited to): Anthropology, American Ethnic Studies,
Environmental Studies, Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies, History, Philosophy
and Psychology.
NW: Natural World
Within the NW area of knowledge, questions are developed to explore and
understand things existing in nature and typically not made or caused by human
interaction. This involves the experimental study of the physical world around us.
Scholarship in this area includes (but is not limited to): the mathematical, physical,
17
environmental and biological sciences.ACADEMIC SUCCESS
UAA Advising Academic Introduction | Freshman A&O, Day 1
BUILDING A BALANCED SCHEDULE
Courses at UW are taught on a 10-week quarter schedule. The courses you will be taking require a significant amount of study and preparation time
outside of class. While every student is different and can handle a different course load, the following are general rules to ensure you can manage
your course load successfully.
CREATE YOUR COURSE SCHEDULE MAINTAIN BALANCE:
COURSES YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE IN YOUR REASONS FOR CHOOSING THIS COURSE: Include a variety of
FIRST-YEAR (CREDITS): General interest, prerequisite, general education requirement,
exploring a major, balance, etc. Areas of Knowledge
Limit your schedule to no more than two (2) courses
in the same Area of Knowledge.

I&S: Individuals & Societies
NW: Natural World
Take one course that is familiar
and one that is unfamiliar

Maintain a 12-18 credit load

Most classes are 3 to 5 credits. If you take an average
of 15 credits per quarter (autumn, winter and spring),

credits you take will depend on responsibilities, such as

typically take 100- and 200-level courses.
INTENTIONAL STRUCTURE:
What courses are scarce and/or
most important to you?
Remember the class(es) you identified with advisers
that you want to prioritize taking in your first year or
quarter.
Research & understand how
courses are sequenced
Course sequences are groups of courses that are
intended to be taken in a specific order to fulfill a
degree or program requirement.
Consider enrolling in a
First-year Interest Group (FIG)
FIGs are a good way to structure your schedule with
classes that allow you to explore new topics while
fulfilling general education requirements.
