HONR 332 - Interdisciplinary Seminar

3 Credit Hours
3 Lecture Hours
0 Laboratory Hours

Team-taught by two tenure-track professors from two different disciplines. Drawing on their academic disciplines and personal interests, the two instructors determine the topic for the course. Students will study the topic as a group and, after identifying major issues, each student will construct his/her own project in which a course-related issue is examined from the students’ disciplinary perspective. In consultation with the instructors, students will develop a reseearch plan for the project, which will include examination of the subject from multiple perspectives, identification of conflicting arguments within the discipline, and analysis of credible data. Students will present their final evaluation of the issue as both a formal paper and a class presentation. This course is offered each spring term and should be taken during the junior or senior year.

Prerequisites: Junior standing.
