Ways of Knowing

Catalog description

Engages students as writers in the broad, introductory study of different research methods and methodologies. Surveys the ways people seek, make sense of, and share knowledge, paying attention to history, culture and use. Invites hands-on learning through problem-based inquiry and short-form writing (including multimodal compositions) for different audiences. Regular reflection encourages self-awareness and sustained attention to writers’ and researchers’ responsibilities to others.
