Compare a free action-research text with two project guides; define a measurable question and solve an original missing-response example before making claims.
PhilosophyLogicFormal logic: choose a text and test a quantifier claim
Compare three logic texts, practise translation and proof in six stages, and solve an original countermodel with a valid repaired conclusion.
ChemistryGeneral ChemistryGeneral chemistry: connect particles, equations and quantities
Compare three chemistry texts, build a six-stage study route, and check an original limiting-reactant problem with explicit assumptions.
BiologyGeneticsGenetic reasoning: distinguish inheritance from the data you observe
Compare an open genetics course, an analysis textbook and population-model notes; use original plant-marker cases to separate recombination from observation.
HistoryHistorical Methods and HistoriographyHistorical evidence: from a surviving record to a defensible claim
Compare Tosh, Bloch and free archive case studies; practise provenance, independent corroboration and a qualified historical argument.
GeographyIntroduction to Human GeographyHuman geography: compare books, question the map
Compare three human-geography books, build a six-stage inquiry, and test how invented service-access figures change with area boundaries.
EconomicsIntermediate MicroeconomicsIntermediate microeconomics: choose a model before optimizing
Compare three microeconomics texts and solve consumer-choice cases with kinks, corners and ties, checking budgets and the limits of utility comparisons.
LawLegal System and Legal MethodLegal reasoning: choose a skills text, then test rules against facts
Compare English-law study guides and a free US citation reference; practise source, version and condition checks with two fully worked fictional rule problems.
MathematicsLinear AlgebraLinear algebra: choose a route from equations to subspaces

Compare three political science routes and solve an original fictional council case to distinguish majority decisions, agenda effects and legitimacy.
MathematicsProbability and StatisticsProbability foundations: count the experiment you actually observed
Compare probability and statistics reading routes, then solve sampling and reveal-protocol problems that separate counting, conditioning and independence.
PsychologyIntroduction to PsychologyRead psychology as evidence, not a collection of labels
Compare a free psychology survey, an assigned-course text and a short orientation, then audit a fictional learning claim through six study outputs.
