Course Components

Research Development Project (RDP)

The RDP will be a written report of semester-long activities and thinking about the nature of my evolving research interest(s) and what  has been learned about important concepts and research results relative to that/those interest(s). 

Annotations of Course Readings

At least two course readings should be annotated each week. Annotations consist of the document citation, main argument, support for the argument and my response.  

Article Critiques

Critiques of "empirical" research -that is, research that gathers data (hence, empirical) and draws inferences from those data.
