CMC 200 - Researching Media and Culture with Lab

What issues keep us awake at night? How might we address pressing challenges like climate change, war, and economic inequality? What separates assumption, belief, and knowledge about those challenges? How can we best translate knowledge into evidence-based arguments? This course explores multiple ways of researching culture and media. Each of us undertakes a project on a topic of our choosing, conducting both background (library) research and original research. The 1-credit lab builds information literacy, helping us find, evaluate, and synthesize information from multiple reputable sources.
