Assignment Description for Research Project
Purpose
Your project should use your research and voice to come to a purposeful conclusion for your research question, keeping in mind your project should move readers to do, think, or believe in a new way.
Audience
Your project should be a public-facing, research-based, and geared toward a
specific local audience interested in or related to your specific topic. This means,
you must have a clear but imagined idea of who you are presenting your research
to. This concept of audience may be different from other college classes when the
default audience is often imagined to be your instructor, the other students in the
class, or some variation of an audience that expects an academic in tone essay
written in Standard American English. While we (as in the class) are certainly part of
your secondary audience, your primary audience should consider the purpose
of your project and who it is specifically composed for (and what stake they have in
it).
