GEOG 5800: Geographic Applications and Research Design

This graduate course introduces you to methods and approaches for good research design in geography. The focus of the course is development of a research proposal. We also discuss elements of research dissemination, such as conference presentation and journal publications.
The links below have some key resources related to the course.
Please note:
1. I expect that students entering this course will come in having given some thought as to your preferred area of research and the specific research questions you wish to investigate. A basic understanding of the literature relevant to your research is also important for student success. Please prepare yourself in these areas before the course begins.
2. I taught this course quite possibly for the last time in fall 2015. I'm leaving my course resources up here for reference by any interested student or beginning researcher.
Feel free to check out my YouTube channel for a variety of videos related to this class.
