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

Human BINGO
1. Turn to page 4 in your manual

students to sign the boxes that apply to
them
1. 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)
2)
Your FYE experience and
Your Bellevue College experience.
Brainstorm some goals for both on page 5 of
your manual.

Time Management
Time management is not about
managing time – it is about managing
ourselves and how we choose to use
our time.
It is all about our choices.
How will you choose to use your time?
