SPDA 2020 - Connections I: Collaborative Thinking

3 hours

First in a series of pillar courses for the Integrative Studies cohort degree focused on the intersection between application and theory in the 21st century world. Students integrate university core knowledge and skills with theories of collaborative thinking and idea generation. Project-based learning forms the center of this educational experience, focused around a theme chosen by, and in collaboration with, a business or community partner. The goal is to teach students how to develop and execute effective collaborative project management to address complex systems. Learning is supported by readings, lectures, discussion and simulation of key theories that drive said collaboration. Restricted to students admitted to the cohort.

Prerequisite(s): None.
