What Research Feels Like at Trinity

What Research Feels Like at Trinity

Research at Trinity takes many forms --  it’s not about having all the answers, but learning how to ask deeper questions. In your first-year classes, you’ll start building the skills to think like a scholar:

 

  • Dig deeper: Write multi-step assignments like annotated bibliographies, first drafts, and final revisions.
  • Read tougher stuff: Work with scholarly sources written for specific academic fields.
  • Blend ideas: Compare sources, spot patterns, and weave them into your own argument or perspective.
