Students complete a multi-stage research project on a writing-related issue of their choosing inspired by course readings. The project includes developing a research question they feel personally invested in and curious about, conducting scholarly research using databases and interviews, creating annotated citations, presenting findings in a Prezi, and submitting a final portfolio with a reflective cover letter. The assignment emphasizes personal investment, critical engagement with discourse, and iterative writing and revision.
