About the Course
In this course you will take an idea and blow it up. You will “blow it up” to better understand its elements, and its connections to various ways of creating knowledge. Then you will take the resultant pieces and use them to construct a research plan that’s inclusive of at least two forms of inquiry. The primary learning objective is that you are able to create a research proposal from some idea, observation, or problem that interests you, so that you can implement the plan as you launch your undergraduate academic journey. Your time in this 5-week online course will revolve around your idea, and your exploration of creative ways to do something with it.
Course Goals/Learning Objectives
In this course students will:
•refine their ability to produce formal academic writing.
•learn effective strategies for writing project proposals and responding to constructive feedback.
•gain a thorough understanding of the stakes of design practice for crafting a sustainable future.
