Proposing Breadth Courses
Breadth courses, broadly, are introductions to disciplinary modes of inquiry.
For that reason, it is presumed that the primary focus of any Breadth course is to introduce students in a discipline and its approaches and applying it to the study of a particular time period, socio-cultural context, natural context, group of artifacts or artworks, set of theoretical questions, technology or technologies or other relevant subset related to the discipline.
This means that the majority, if not the entirety, of the course should be devoted to meeting the content criteria and learning outcomes associated with the Breadth.
