Leland Scholars Program: Introduction to Collaborative Research at Stanford

This course provides an introduction to collaborative college-level research and argumentation. Together we will practice developing research questions; finding appropriate, reliable sources; and synthesizing those sources as part of crafting and presenting a well-reasoned argument. Through class discussions, annotated bibliographies, and, finally, the development and presentation of a collaborative research project poster, we will consider how we can argue convincingly about ideas that truly matter to us across rhetorical situations, whether in the classroom or in broader social contexts.
