- | ## Exploring religion through dialogue ## | ||
- | |||
- | In 2015, the class will center on a dialogue among students in a tutorial. Each week we will examine an open-ended question, a claim, or a topic, and we will all discuss our different interpretations, | ||
- | |||
- | ## Research skills and independent thinking ## | ||
- | |||
- | Over the semester, students will be working on an independent research project. Each student will investigate a problematic issue arising within the social study of religion, read ethnographies on this topic, and develop an argument about it. This results in a 10-page research paper which argues for their explanation of the matter. At several points, students will submit elements of their research and get feedback from me. Over the course of the unit, we will discuss strategies and techniques for finding facts, asking questions, asserting a thesis which answers a question, developing arguments to explain the thesis, and using factual evidence and reasoning to make our arguments stronger. | ||
