Inquiry Report Legacy Project

Catalog description

The course will prepare students to develop their minds as scholars by understanding the world of research and the integrated dynamics of urban systems. Participants will be exposed to the elements of inquiry, process skills and practices, questioning and building evidence-based explanations through hands-on activities. An inquiry report (Legacy Project) will will be completed that consists of an introduction that articulates and updates the elements of the Legacy Project, literature review, research findings and a discussion of the findings. The legacy project will delineate a focus for the inquiry, the rationale for initiating inquiry and a theoretical perspective. It will also include a literature review that demonstrates knowledge of the conceptual fields and research studies related to the students’ inquiry and a description of the methodology to be used for investigation and interpretation, findings, deliverables and implications.
