IDIS 2140 - Interdisciplinary Research Methods Seminar

2 cr. 2 hr. Offered twice per academic year.

Interdisciplinary Research Methods Seminar is a seminar course that builds upon IDIS 1004 - Introduction to Interdisciplinary Studies Seminar by focusing on the range of foundational skills that are essential to producing excellent research. These skills include learning how to perform secondary research, including use of the Amelia Gallucci-Cirio Library, how to critically read and use scholarly research, note taking, and journaling. Building upon this foundation, the course will turn to research project conception and development, with students learning how to conceive, define, and narrow primary research topics and then use them to ask insightful questions.
