This course is a requirement in the CMU Curricular Commons. Registration restricted to incoming students. This course introduces students to the university by getting them involved in asking a big question alongside other students and professors from many subject areas. It includes seminars, round table discussions, a few big lectures, and fieldtrips, all in order to do the things the university does best: taking the time to think about real problems, from multiple expert viewpoints (or ways of knowing), and to develop their own ideas. Our big question this coming year is “TBD” Prerequisite: Curiosity
