IST 350 - McCullough Fellows Colloquium (1)

The four focal areas of the McCullough Institute are: land use and conservation; urban planning; sustainable agriculture; and resilience and environmental sustainability. This colloquium, required for all McCullough Fellows, is designed to lead them through the steps of conducting an applied research project, from research question to literature review, to data collection, and results analysis. McCullough Fellows conduct applied individual research and work closely with a faculty advisor and community partner to gather and analyze data, then present it in an academic setting, both orally and in writing. The outcomes of the research include an oral presentation at the campus Undergraduate Research Symposium; drafts of each section of the research paper, individually and then synthesized, as a submission to the campus Undergraduate Research Journal. This course is only offered to McCullough Fellows and permission of instructor is required. Fall.
