New Inquiry Courses

First-year BGSU students will have the opportunity to enroll in Inquiry courses approved to meet the current BG Perspective requirements.  These exciting new courses allow students to actively discover and construct knowledge within a certain discipline while achieving the overarching general education inquiry learning outcomes. Upon successful completion of any inquiry course, a student will:

• apply one or more appropriate methods of inquiry to a relatively well structured question or problem using both in- and out-of-classroom experiences;
• select and synthesize in-depth information from relevant sources representing various points of view/approaches within that mode of inquiry;
• analyze evidence to reveal patterns, differences, or similarities related to the well structured contemporary questions or problems drawn from both in- and out-of-classroom experiences;
• draw logical conclusions extrapolated from the inquiry findings while discussing limitations and implications of the mode of inquiry.
