Seeking Knowledge: Exploring How Various Disciplines Recognize Truth
This course will examine questions around the central theme, how do researchers in a particular discipline know when they have reached a conclusion, as a means to understand academic disciplines' perspectives and methods of research. Studying this question will enable Newcomb Scholars to examine how research questions of various academic disciplines are developed, how a study is set up/established and executed, and how researchers reach a conclusion. Scholars will also be exposed to research methods (qualitative and quantitative) and types of studies (case studies, historical, ethnographic, action research, to name a few). Newcomb Scholars have the opportunity to establish connections with faculty mentors in their fields or related fields.
