CFS 493 Professional Self: Ways of Knowing

This course is the first in a series of four courses that introduces students to understanding interdisciplinary perspectives and the ways in which personal development, professional identity, and professional action contribute to our developing professional self. This course will examine "ways of knowing" and the construction of knowledge in our interdisciplinary professional fields. Students will critically reflect on the "ways of knowing" and develop their research literacy. Emphasis will be placed on reflection, personal ethics, self-care, interdisciplinary career paths, and scholarly foundations.
