Cocurricular: Social Science Research Fundamentals 1
HUB CC 290
This cocurricular is open to undergraduate research interns at the Center for Innovation in Social Science (CISS) and other students carrying out independent or mentored research projects in the social sciences. The course offers research skill and professional development workshops that supplement the CISS internship or other structured social science research experience. Students work with CISS faculty and staff, BU library staff, and their own faculty mentor to search for and select a wide variety of information resources to gain a better understanding of their discipline. Students complete reflection assignments and CISS interns present their research at a Spring undergraduate showcase. As the first semester of a yearlong cocurricular experience, HUB CC 290 is a prerequisite for HUB CC 291. Effective Fall 2023, this cocurricular is part of a Hub sequence: when taken with HUB CC 291 this cocurricular fulfills a single unit in the following BU Hub area: Research and Information Literacy.
