Freshman orientation and home economics

Article Abstract:

A survey of home economics orientation courses has shown that there is relative uniformity in course content and description and that lectures are the most commonly used instructional strategy. These courses, though similar to university freshman orientation courses, are oriented more toward the profession of home economics. Greater emphasis needs to be placed on college survival skills, experimental learning techniques and caring mentorship by instructors.
