Students then explore the texts in depth in weekly seminars. The texts covered in this unit, the first that Faculty Scholars enrol in, are classics of literature and thought from a range of cultures and time periods. Critical engagement with these texts provides a foundation for subsequent units' exploration of more specialised topics.

Students in the Faculty Scholars Program extend themselves through intensive reading and searching discussion of challenging texts. Lectures introduce the texts and seminar discussions explore them in depth. The texts covered in this unit, which builds on FASS2100, Transformative Texts 1, are foundational works from a variety of fields studied in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. This work helps prepare students for the challenge of formulating and conducting an original research project in their final year in the program.

Students work under the guidance of an academic supervisor and participate in regular seminars led by the program's director. The form of the written or other work produced in the course of the semester will vary according the disciplines concerned and the students' own ideas.
