A research project also gives students a chance to demonstrate their progress in a medium other than a multiple choice test. Students who do poorly on multiple choice tests may fare better in a different arena. Always the first questions students ask, and probably the most annoying because it demonstrates a commitment to doing the least possible work for a passing grade. You should write no less than 5 full pages and no more than 7 pages. Because this is a geography class, the topics available to you are nearly unlimited.
All topics are fair game.
Second you need to find a way to approach your topic from a spatial or geographic perspective. Third, the topic has to be generally within the confines of the limits defined by the course within which you are enrolled. For example, the students in Louisiana Geography must research their topic as it applies in Louisiana. Don t turn in a recycled Political Science, History or a Sociology paper. The format of the written part of the project should conform to known standards of presentation.
