IDCE390 - CDP Research Seminar

This seminar advances research and communication skills by working on specific projects proposed by students. Students will refine their research questions or objectives, design a research methodology, and prepare a presentation of their project. This seminar focuses on the research process and the delivery of information rather than the research content. The first part of the course includes an overview of research approaches in community development and planning, as well as data interpretation, definition of assumptions, policy inferences, and assessment of contextual situations. The second part focuses on the review and discussion of students' projects to refine the overall research design. Projects can be at any stage of development, from a preliminary proposal to a completed report or thesis. The third part consists of presentations by students of their proposals or findings with the intent of sharpening their delivery and communication skills. Ms. Chion/Offered every year
