Registration
To register for the Inquiry seminar or Practicum, you must contact the instructor directly:
HU3900 Inquiry Seminar in Humanities and Arts
HU3910 Humanities and Arts Practicum
The instructor will file a form to register students for the seminar or practicum. There is a limit of 12 students in each seminar or practicum.
Students should check two locations to find out what seminars and practicums are offered, when each seminar/practicum is scheduled, and who is teaching the seminar or practicum.
What
Inquiry Seminars and Practicums descriptions for 2012-2013. Find several seminars or practicums that you might be interested in. Be flexible and consider several different terms and different topics for the culminating inquiry seminar or practicum. Seminars are offered at a specific time so schedule conflicts may arise. It is helpful to consider multiple opportunities.
When
Registrar’s Course Schedule. Check each term under Humanities and Arts, then HU3900 and HU3910. Every seminar or practicum is offered at a specific two-hour time period. If you know you will have a course conflict during those two hours, don't register for that seminar or practicum.
Who
The name of the instructor is listed on both sites above—the descriptions and the class schedule. If no instructor is listed, please contact the Humanities and Arts Department office (SL125) for more information.
Contact the instructor directly by email or in person to ask if you may register for the seminar/practicum. They may ask to meet with you or they may be able to process your registration by email.
How to register
When you contact the instructor, you should be able to list the five Humanities and Arts courses you have already taken or plan to take before the seminar or practicum. In addition, you must be able to check the following:
- At least one of these courses is not in the intellectual cluster I have chosen for depth.
- At least two of these courses are in the area or discipline of my Inquiry Seminar or Practicum.
- At least one of the courses in the area or discipline of my Inquiry Seminar or Practicum is at the 2000 level or higher.
- I have not completed an Inquiry Seminar or Practicum. (Inquiry Seminars and Practicums are intended to be taken only once).
After contacting the instructor, in order to register you must complete and sign the following form and submit it to the instructor for their approval before submitting it to the Registrar:
