In the Applied Practicum, students will progress through the full research design process. Multiple topics and research questions are generated by students individually and are developed over the semester with feedback from their peers and the instructor. Students will deeply investigate existing research questions and designs, critically analyzing their structure and effectiveness. They will also gain structured experience giving oral presentations, speaking to a specific audience, and summarizing research into concise, memo-like deliverables. The course brings together all of the skills necessary for students to conduct their own research from beginning to end. Ultimately, students will leave with two potential and developed research designs, from which they can choose as the topic of their major 2nd year project in APAN.
