- Abstract
How curious are you? Probably exceptionally curious today! But have you thought about how curiosity affects your approach to research? We know choosing a topic is one of the hardest parts of the research process for students, but we don't have as much experience helping students navigate this stage as we do helping them find and cite sources. During this session we will all assess our curiosity dispositions and discuss how to use that information to think about research topics. We'll examine a variety of online tools and talk about how to use them with students during topic selection.
