This short course (only 3 sessions) is intended to provide the students with exposure to a variety of ways to organize information with an emphasis on problem-solving. The course will consist of four lectures (topics and schedule below), problem assignments, virtual follow-up discussions, group discussion board interaction, and student submission of work (optional). There is no assigned grade-you get from this what you put into it. Students will also be able to share their work and ideas with other students.<\/p>\n<p>Citation of sources is important, but presentations will not focus on citation theory.<\/p>\n<p>This time the course will be presented a little bit differently. Students will be able to download the lecture and view it at their convenience-ideally all on the same day that the download link is sent to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_butthttps:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=HTX9S2A5HLNHLon_id=HTX9S2A5HLNHL\">registered students<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Students will have a week to view the presentation, discuss or ask questions on the bulletin board and submit optional homework before the class discussion via GotoWebinar.<\/p>\n<p>Course\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=HTX9S2A5HLNHL\">registration is only $30<\/a>\u00a0for this run of the course.
