Research Project

Each student is responsible for a research project of her/his choice (after consulting with me). This project requires all the necessary components of a peer reviewed journal article including (but not limited to): an Abstract, an Introduction, a Review of Current Literature, a Thesis Statement or Question, a Description of Data Collected, a Description of Methods Used, an Analysis of the Data, a Conclusion (did you prove your thesis), and a Discussion of Potential Future Research.

Each student will present research results to the class beginning April 30. A final draft of your research project is due during the final exam period (8-10:00am, Wednesday, May 14).

Check the Course Calendar for intermediate deadlines.
