This course will develop those ideas using literature, help students frame questions and hypotheses incorporating theory, discuss data collection and methods, etc. Students outside the discipline can enroll, but the proposed research should be of a nature where geography graduate students and the instructor can evaluate proposal content (e.g. environmental or earth sciences, forestry, etc.). You should discuss any questions and concerns with the instructor.  \nCOURSE OBJECTIVES  \nThe course will provide a forum for discussion, shared experiences, and intellectual resources for graduate students to be able to write effective, successful research proposals.  \nThe purposes of this course are for students: 1) to examine the early stages of research (research question definition, library research, planning, research design, variable selection, proposal writing); 2) to learn to conduct ethical practice of research; 3) to write a research proposal in National Science Foundation (NSF) format; and 4) to learn the process of constructive criticism in reviewing other’s proposals (your proposal will be evaluated by three peers and the instructor).  \nPOLICY ON ATTENDANCE AND CLASS DEMEANOR  \nThis class is about your own graduate research and missing class is not a good idea. Participation is a very large proportion of the grade. The panel review is an additional 20% and your presence is necessary. Early semester absences can be excused but they should be minimal and reasonable. Given that this class has a proposal deadline and a panel review, incompletes are not viable options. If you miss more than one class or cannot make one of the critical meetings at the end of the semester, your grade will be affected. If you have a documented absence (illness, medical or family emergency) towards the end of the semester, I will consider giving an incomplete and work with students to create a contract where alternative projects are assigned. Similarly, tardiness and creating distractions (cell phones, texting, laptop usage when not part of the class purpose) are not advisable.  \nASSIGNED READINGS  \nThe Firestein book (\"Ignorance\") is required. All of the other books are \"recommended\"although I urge you to have a copy of the Friedland and Folt book. They are all inexpensive. It is very important that you have access to several of them during the class.  \nWhich ones will depend on your own area of research. It will be your responsibility to find them in whatever form or from whatever vendor that you can.  \nFirestein, S. 2012. Ignorance: How It Drives Science.
