Inquiry

Learning Outcome

Students understand or experience inquiry as an open-ended process that explores evidence

and/or approaches to generate ideas / conclusions

Students who are active partners in the educational experience are intrinsically curious.

They understand that knowledge is made rather than simply received. They also are on

their way to mastering the process of inquiry by means of which knowledge is constructed.
