Practicum: Applied Research II

Students build on the constructive critique of the prior term. They modify and enhance their community-based question and applied research for a second iteration of research during this fourth term of study. They finalize and complete their community-based analysis. This includes a full presentation of their research question, its analysis, and associated results. It includes an exploration of how the lessons learned from the case study and the results of the research can be adapted or “scaled up” by their own and other communities. The case study will be the basis of the student’s presentation during “Synthesis and Integration,” a capstone course during the final residential in Tibet, China.
