We’ve been working on the course schedule – trying to make sure that we provide a broad treatment of community-engaged research (CEnR) and balance the content across the 7 1/2 weeks. We’ve incorporated the feedback of several people already, and now we’d like to hear from you.
Does this sound like a course you want to take? What would you like to see kept, shifted, focused on, never talked about? What do you want to learn?
