Students should be running into problems in the field and bringing those problems to class. Likewise, students should also have successes which they will share with the class. The quality of this class will be determined by the quality of the research that students undertake. Interesting projects will provide us with challenges that we as a group will examine. The professor and your fellow students are resources for you to tap during the semester.
Active participation is key to an interesting and enjoyable class.
We will follow a loose schedule throughout the semester. The professor will augment class discussions of student work with periodic lectures and structured discussions about different topics facing investigative and ethnographic reporters. You are expected to read this book and develop questions to ask in class which can help you with your own research projects. Discuss Basic Skills. Discuss Possible Topics.
