Blog
- Please write 1-2 paragraphs on what you plan to do for your final project. Your final paper topic needs to be approved by me; I'll use this concept paper to give you feedback. It should include the following: whether you plan to do a lit review or mini-study, what broad question you'll be exploring, what resources you plan to use (this can be broad - what literature or area of a literature, doesn't have to be a complete list of refs), and how it relates to class topics.
