List of the Topic Concepts Thus Far

This page lists and links you to the topic concepts submitted thus far by the SMU community. As you review these submissions, please keep in mind the following:

• None of these submissions has been “vetted” or screened. Thus, some of them might fall short of meeting the basic requirements of a QEP topic (e.g., relating to Student Learning Outcomes throughout the university). But we are free to mix, combine, build on ideas, etc.
  
  
• Some of the very brief submissions were in response to an email submission format that became available in September. The idea was to elicit additional ideas; this explains the brevity of some submissions.
