3. A brief summary of the course approach and assessment

Students will work in small teams to write collaboratively a Wikibook chapter on an issue facing those conducting interdisciplinary work. The chapter will relate to one of the following abstract issues: disciplinary categories; evidence and the disciplines; truth and the disciplines; imperialism and the disciplining of knowledge. But students will be encouraged to explore how an abstract issue might play out in a real-world example of interdisciplinary work. Both the end product and the collaborative process will be assessed.
