Foundations of Academic Research and Creative Activity credit: 3 or

4 Hours

Success as a scholar requires capabilities that typically are learned not in the classroom, studio, or on stage, but rather as they are encountered over many years. This course accelerates the learning process dramatically by delivering those capabilities prior to the start of one’s career. Topics include types of research and creative activity, public attitudes, how funding opportunities are created, critique, communicating outcomes, ethical conduct, bias, intellectual property, compliance, multidisciplinary inquiry, and collaboration.
