COURSE OVERVIEW

A meta-disciplinary approach to social science literacy for second-year students, developing knowledge of themselves as individuals and applying that knowledge as active, engaged citizens. Students learn to ask questions, consider evidence, analyze data, and recognize theories and methods used by social scientists, as well as to explore their own individual direction for majors and career.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of the semester, students will be able to:

Articulate how social scientists gather and evaluate information and use social science techniques to investigate questions about human individual and social behavior, past and present.
Apply social science habits of mind and methods to develop a research proposal.
Describe and apply teamwork skills as you develop your research project.
Discuss social science research on college success, particularly for sophomores and transfers, and use it to create a more meaningful and coherent story of your learning.
