HC 2420 - OHIO Honors Engagement Lab in Health & Social Sciences
This course uses interdisciplinary, team-based problem solving to introduce OHIO Honors students to the foundations of the three honors engagement pathways: leadership, community engagement, and research and creative activity. The activities and product align with a relevant university-related health and wellness initiative, as will be defined. Students work in an interdisciplinary team to research the campus context and needs related to the initiative topic, propose a relevant project, test and refine the proposal, and execute it. Lectures provide academic background on the topic and introduce students to a variety of problem-solving methods, such as evidence-based practice, systems thinking and design thinking, a creative, empathy-driven process for developing user-friendly solutions to everyday challenges people encounter. The lab sections guide students through the practical application of these problem-solving tools, help to explore ideas from lecture, and provide time and space for the team to work on the project.
