End of Semester Reflection

Here are the same prompts we discussed in class for an end of semester refection:

  1.  How do you view research differently after this class?
  2.  How does a  geographic viewpoint impact your approach to research and understanding of place?
  3. Will you use (and seek out) primary sources in the future? Why or why not?
  4. How can research in general, and place-based research in particular) be made more engaging?
