Amelica 223 Share Posted July 5, 2023 PROGRESS THROUGH INQUIRY 1st of Snow’s Maiden, Year 136 of the Second Age “Diligence in the face of ignorance.” - Malaurir Lucion Sullas To the Blessed Citizenry of Haelun’or and allies of the Silver State, Since time immemorial, we have sought progress through an endless pursuit of knowledge. To achieve this progress, we peer into the unknown; historically, we have done so through our engagement in proper research. The flame of curiosity is one that must be ceaselessly tended to – now, just as always, we must rekindle our fervor for discovery and scholarship. In hopes of reigniting the flame of progress, Malaurir Silvos Sythaerin shall host three courses on the proper conduct of Independent Research. At the conclusion of this course, students will choose a topic of interest and construct their first theses. We hope to inspire attendees to find at least one topic to fully dedicate themselves to by the course's end. The course will be structured thusly: I. Fundamental Research Principles The first lesson will lay the groundwork for the rest. It will cover possible fields of study, how to set up a hypothesis, how to keep one’s work orderly, and how to properly document one’s findings. II. Research Safety The second lesson will focus on safety. Malaurir Silvos will share past mistakes that he and his colleagues have been privy to, mistakes that led to dangerous and precarious situations. Based on own his near-fatal past encounters, the Malaurir will impart wisdom on how to avoid these circumstances. III. Demonstration and Thesis Crafting The third lesson will cover a plan for the students' first proper theses. Additionally, a demonstration will be held in the available laboratory space. Those interested will be allowed to partake in a class-wide research project, a project that may be contributed to by all student participants. The first of the three courses shall take place in three elven days within the Basement of the Eternal Library. All citizens of Haelun’or are highly encouraged to attend; all are called to contribute to the advancement of our venerated society. Maehr’sae hiylun’ehya.
