An Undergraduate Research Design Lab

Catalog description

How does one’s “disciplinary lens” affect their approach to inquiry – from question formulation to implementation? In this hands-on research design lab, students will be introduced to a landscape of inquiry across multiple disciplinary fields, including applied linguistics, writing studies and education. Students will participate in small, teams and, in the end, work independently or with others to identify and design their own research study in response to a genuine curiosity. Learning outcomes include an increased understanding of “the disciplinary lens” through which research is designed. A demonstrated ability to participate in interdisciplinary research projects. And deepened sense of collaborative learning and problem solving.
