Course Comments and Goals: Research Academy educates students about what research is and what research occurs in their discipline, prepares students to find research experiences, and prepares students with skills needed to begin research projects. Skills explored range from how to approach faculty, to how to do a literature search, to creating a presentation. Students are encouraged to utilize the Lunch & Learn program to learn about what faculty do outside the classroom.
