15 Sep Democracy: Online Research
The fourth section in the Syntopical Course Guide for each of the interrelated Great Ideas is Online Research. After your initial reaction to the Great Idea, your formal introduction to and readings concerning the Great Idea, you will now be asked to do a small amount of online research as it relates to great works that comment or expand upon the Great Idea. Often times, this includes streaming video lectures from professors at eminent universities, visiting an online museum or relating the content from a Great Idea to the world today. In many cases, this short Online Research component will help you with your discussions (formal or informal) or your essays, which are the next step in the syntopical learning process.
