Research SU26-4983 Research & Writing Professor: Dan Ewert Day/Time: Thursdays | 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM Modality: In-person This course is offered to provide students with the opportunity to complete a final project that documents both the results their work and what they learned. It focuses on the following aspects of 'project development': strong and effective writing skills, incorporation of digital media tools and information on how these tools can contribute to a final product, project design and implementation, identification and use of resources (especially primary resources), and presentation skills. It focuses on professional uses of writing, and students are encouraged to develop a better sense of the importance of their presentation skills in a variety of careers. This helps them to better understand the broader, professional uses of the final products they traditionally complete for professors in their home institutions.
