Over the course of the first two years, Forum students will enroll in courses (24-27 credits) from the full range of the liberal arts and sciences that are hand-picked by the Forum faculty and directly address the Forum topic. In the fourth semester (spring of your second year), the Forum students come back together in a Capstone class where they work on research pertaining to the topic. At the end of the course, you will feel like you've learned a ton. He isn't the best lecturer, but if you have any questions he is much better in a one on one environment.
Professor Damon has been teaching this course at UVA since the 1970's, and he puts a lot of effort into perfecting it.
Each Forum admits 40 students who will share a first-year introductory seminar on the specific topic. Overall, this was a very worthwhile course. The Forums are designed and led by some of the University’s most committed scholar-teachers, each with years of expertise researching their Forum topic. Are you coming to UVA with a particular passion, or are you interested in exploring relevant topics in depth? The Forums offer opportunities to explore critical questions of our time by tailoring groups of courses around a central theme/topic/problem.
