I wish my wife had this professor. Her professor gave her a hard time about the difference between original work and a research project. She was about ready to cry many nights. She ended up dropping the course. I'll let her know to give doctor Cody a try.

I am sorry to hear this! I won't say the course wasn't intense, but Dr. Cody's communication was great, and he was very patient. If your wife has any specific questions prior to registering, please let her know she can msg me and I'll try to answer as well as I can.

I had Dr. Cody as well. I did no "original research", but I did stick to primary sources and come to my own conclusions. However, I was not researching historical people or events, I was researching how car infotainment designs impact safety. It's easy to read the syllabus as requiring original research, and I guess some professors do read it that way. It also doesn't help that the book is written for master's theses and doctoral dissertations where that would be expected.

He was great, wasn't he?! Dr. Cody wanted students in the class I was in to pick a topic they could be passionate about, so there were a variety of topics from the gamut of social sciences, health topic, history, to specific IT interests. The diversity of topics actually made the class very interesting and led to some great discussions and further learning.
