Welcome to FYE

We are glad you chose BC!

Why FYE? • Research at BC shows that those who actually complete FYE are more successful than those who don’t.

• FYE is an opportunity to obtain one college-level credit in an environment where you can learn more about Bellevue College and yourself.

• Your syllabus lists course outcomes and expectations

Introductions

• Instructor Name:

• Subject Taught/Area @ the College:

• Educational Background:

• Fun Fact:

• Why I Enjoy Teaching FYE:

Introductions: Human BINGO

1. Turn to page 4 in your manual

2. Move around the room and ask other

students to sign the boxes that apply to them

3. The goal is to find five different people to

complete an entire row, column, or diagonal

on your BINGO sheet

Goal Setting

•  Setting a goal is very useful, even if the results are not what you had intended. Goals help you decide what you want and how you are going to get there.

• Goals are specific, attainable, and something that you want. They can be short term, long term, whatever.

• Think about what you’d like to get out of 1) Your FYE experience and2) Your Bellevue College experience.

Brainstorm some goals for both on page 5 of your manual.
