== Research Project Design ==
== Research project Design ==


As a demonstration of your learning in this course, you will design a research project. I strongly urge you to work on a project that will further your academic career outside of the class. There are many ways that this can happen. Some obvious options are to prepare a project that you can submit for publication, that you can use as pilot analysis that you can report in a grant or thesis proposal, and/or that fulfills a degree requirement. The default expectation is that you will prepare the project on your own but it may be possible to work as a small team (maximum 3 people). Team projects are expected to be more ambitious than individual projects. Multiple intermediate assignments will help you to develop your idea and to get feedback from me and others.

Early on in the class, you will bring three ideas for research projects to class. For each idea, you should provide 1) a brief description of your research topic 2) your research questions, hypotheses, or objectives, and 3) a brief description of data that you could gather or use. In total, your ideas should be no more than 1.5 pages. We will circulate ideas in class and workshop them in small groups. You will then identify what you see as the most promising project, which you will submit on Brightspace.

Based on the principles discussed in class, you will complete a full draft of a Background / Theory section. While norms differ for the length of literature reviews across disciplines and even across journals, this will be an exercise in making an argument with brevity, and your document should be no more than 5 pages (excluding references).

The paper should make an argument for what the problem is that you are studying, definitions of key terms, concepts, and constructs, and an argument for your hypotheses / research questions. Typically, these will appear near the end of the literature review.

On the first day, I will ask you to sign up to lead the discussion for two weeks during the class. When leading the discussion, you will prepare a set of discussion questions (typically ~10 questions) based on the readings for that week, which you will circulate to the class at least 24 hours in advance. Typically, we will take a few minutes at the beginning of class for housekeeping / answering outstanding questions, but these discussions will be the bulk of our time each Thursday.
