Research Seminar

Research Seminar introduces you to the process of academic research and allows you to open your mind to problem-solving strategies based upon formal inquiry and the detailed research of others. It requires the synthesis of the techniques of critical thinking, research, writing, and documentation. As part of the development of the key deliverable – a research proposal detailing conceptual frameworks and methodologies that are imagined but not carried out – you will create a question that is of ultimate importance to you. You will conduct research into the literature of others who have considered the same questions. You will be creative in developing a research design that will address this question and provide more knowledge to this field. The activities undertaken in this course are key to your development as a college-educated individual. Ultimately, you will engage in problem-solving strategies that can make a difference based upon systematic methods of inquiry.
