HRES-350: Research Minor Capstone

The capstone course allows students to explore a self-directed, culminating research project under the guidance of research faculty. In their capstone projects, students should demonstrate proficiency in the research methods taught and practiced in the courses selected for their research minor. Students may also elect to experiment with new or advanced methods, as appropriate to their project and with the consent of faculty. The completed research capstone project should demonstrate: an awareness of research ethics in practice; an ability to engage relevant methodologies and methods; sound execution of data collection, analysis, and synthesis techniques; and the ability to articulate findings, insights, and opportunities in the context of a creative brief (or other approved format). The final project should be representative of students' skill and insight as researchers in creative fields.
