MWSU 2003 - Creative Inquiry: Interdisciplinary Thinking
3 (3-0)
This course is an introduction to inter- and cross-disciplinary academic research. Students will learn what research is and what it is not, to differentiate among various research types, and will then write a research proposal on a topic approved by the instructor. Since this course is interdisciplinary, students from different disciplines across the campus will be expected to participate. The primary objective of this course is to form a learning community in which all students and the instructor learn, inquire, discover, draw expertise, and get ideas from each other. Emphasis will be placed on effective communication of ideas among all participants.
