- Critically analyze information and ideas

- Discuss, debate and defend ideas, including one's own views, with clarity and reason

- Create clear academic writing
The small group seminar format of this course promotes discussion and interaction among students and their professor. In addition, the professor serves as students' initial academic advisor.
