course narrative
This course was the first of two, to introduce us to the capstone project and get us started on it. I was able to learn about researching. We started on our capstone project, putting together research questions and literature review, as well as creating survey questions. My partner and I got feedback from the advisers, and improved our topic throughout the semester. Our presentation for our topic can be found here.
