Course Description
Students master investigative reporting techniques involving documents, data, and human sources. Special emphasis on investigating and holding accountable government and other major institutions. Students will produce a major investigative project.
Additional Requirements for Graduate Students:
Evaluation of graduate students differs significantly from that
of undergraduate students. Not only will graduate students be
assigned more readings and additional projects, they will also
be graded with higher expectations than undergraduate students.
Specifically, graduate students will be assigned an additional
research or applied project depending upon the discretion of the
instructor. Research projects may involve secondary research
reviews and synthesis, whereas primary research studies will
involve collection and analysis of data. Applied projects will
consist of an original professional-level project delivered as a
written report and/or oral presentation.
