| ==== Assignment ====
| |
| * Create and record a prototype "pitch" (maximum 1 minute or about 150 words) that communicates your research to both colleagues and non-specialist, non-academic "civilians." You should focus either on the project you are planning/pursuing for the research plan component of the final project in this course or your research agenda overall. Feel free to consult online resources (for example, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6BVhuBvzQY this video] is a little hokey, but decent). Note that this will (likely) require you to speak to the (anticipated) results and contribution of your project!
| |
| * Please upload the text and video to Canvas. Note that you can (I believe!) record your video directly in Canvas as well!
