Course Description
Interdisciplinary
Forum is 2 credit seminar course designed to enhance student abilities in collaboration,
shared leadership, oral communication, organization, critical reflection, and writing.
The course will also encourage
meta-analysis of the various UWB and IAS programs by: 1) evaluating the
extracurricular events they sponsor; 2) evaluating the learning objectives for
the IAS majors; and 3) developing a few web pages meant to serve as an online
platform for some of the IAS majors. As
part of the course, students will attend and analyze 3 of many pre-approved
seminars and events throughout the quarter. As follow-up, students will assess the
intellectual climate of UWB and the missions of various programs. Attending these events will also enable you
to advance and articulate your growing understanding of what constitutes achievement
in scholarship by engaging them with the work of leading researchers,
activists, and artists. Other primary
objectives of the course include preparing you for the portfolio capstone
course, evaluating the effectiveness of different modes of communicating
research, and improving your communication skills via practice. As final
projects, students in the course will be challenged to collaborate in the
design and production of an educational event of their own and will submit an
updated version of their portfolio.
