Note: this workshop took place on March 11, 2022. We’ve provided a recording of the session below.
In this workshop series, faculty from across the three schools at Baruch share course design strategies and specific assignments that they have used to foster student research in their classes. This workshop includes guiding students through fieldwork; conducting and presenting an oral history project; introducing students to historical research; and using datasets for business analytics research. Organized by Katherine Pence, Provost Innovation Fellow for Cross-College and Undergraduate Research.
