LS&A and University Library Offer Digital Research in the Humanities Course

In Winter 2013, LS&A and the University Library will offer a new two-credit course on advanced research called UC 270-010: Digital Research in the Humanities.

UC 270-010: Digital Research in the Humanities is aimed at upper-level undergraduates interested in gaining expertise in advanced research strategies. Students will be introduced to the conventions of scholarly research within their disciplines by developing research questions, conducting literature reviews, and presenting the results of their research. In this course, the emphasis
will be on understanding disciplinary research processes, finding primary and secondary sources, synthesizing information, and thinking critically about how sources support a scholarly argument. This course will prepare students for conducting research throughout their academic careers. Class meets 10 am - 12 pm, Wednesdays in 1245 NQ. Contact the instructor, Sigrid Anderson Cordell (scordell@umich.edu), for more information.
