Engaging in the Scholarly Conversation I

Harvard Extension School

PSYC E-300A

Section 1

CRN 17252

View Course Details
This course trains students in the skills of critically engaging the scholarly literature in their field of study. They learn how to assess the presuppositions, argumentation, methodology, evidence, and conclusions of scholarly writing in their discipline. After building that foundational skill set, the second portion of the course focuses on how to identify patterns, debates and schools of thought in the larger body of existing scholarship relevant to the students' interests, which is an essential precursor of the final goal: identifying gaps or opportunities for future scholarly contributions.

Prerequisites

Students must have completed SSCI E-100a with a grade of B or higher to enroll in this course. PSYC E-300a and PSYC E-300b must be completed before registering in the Crafting the Thesis Proposal tutorial for thesis-track students and prior to the precapstone course for capstone-track students. We strongly advise students to complete the two weekends in the same academic year with same instructor (part one in fall and part two in spring).

Notes

Students must be present for the entire three-day weekend to earn credit for this course. Additional requirements before and after the on-campus weekend are noted in the syllabus. Tuition does not include hotel accommodations, transportation, or meals. International students see important visa information. Students in this and other sections of PSYC E-300a, HUMA E-300a, and SSCI E-300a may interact with one another, for example, in Canvas or class sessions. Accordingly, when students participate in live class sessions, they may do so alongside students in those courses. If students participate in a way that causes them to appear in recordings of the class, those recordings may be shown to students enrolled in the other courses.
