Course description
In this course, students identify issues in educational or other professional settings on which to focus their critical and creative thinking skills. Each student works through the different stages of research and action -- from defining a manageable project to communicating findings and plans for further work. The classes run as workshops, in which students are introduced to and then practice using tools for research, writing, communicating, and supporting the work of others.
Video overview. The synchronous sessions may be shorter than implied by the syllabus, with students expected to view pre-recorded material in advance. Some of the synchronous sessions will be totally online (when the instructor is out of town).
