Lina Markauskaite and Minkang Kim are leading two of four new 'Sydney Research Seminars' here at the University of Sydney. These interdisciplinary units of study are designed to challenge third year students an Dalyell Scholars to think like researchers and ask big questions.
“Normally when we teach, we want students to come up with the answers... With these units, we actually want them to come up with the questions. And because the classes will be interdisciplinary, they’ll be encouraged to explore their questions beyond their own field of expertise, and apply research methodology to refine their questions.
