Short workshops that are often the beginning, experimental stages of credit classes. These are used by professors to test out new topics and methods for teaching with an engaged student audience. Collaboration is often a key part of these courses followed by a focus on breaking the conventional static classroom setup.

== Faculty Support ==
A key to starting any movement on a university is faculty support. <span style="font-size:small;">As <span style="text-decoration: underline; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">[http://www.tmooredesign.com/ Timothy Moore puts ]</span> put</span>s it, “You need to find at least one advisor who will be your rock. Basically, they will be the bridge between betwee<span style="font-size:small;"></span>n you and the university. Anything you want to accomplish or support for will go through them.” There is no limit for how many advisors you can have, in fact, the more faculty that you can get on board with your idea the more resources you will have.
To find faculty support, you must do your homework first. (This step taken literally won’t hurt your chances either because you will need teachers to like you.) You will need to find a professor who is very passionate about a topic that is close to yours. Just google your professor’s name and see what comes up! Any biographies, ads, even social media can help you to find a passionate professor.
