Course Reflection:

This course helped me develop a critical mind while learning about research tools and design. The assignments helped me to better understand how to go about  my Senior Capstone.

Course Assignments:

• Content Analysis is an assignment in which students had to gather media sources from both left-wing and right-wing media outlets and write an analysis of the content.

This assignment demonstrates the Critical Thinking, Communication, and Cultural Diversity and Social Responsibility competencies.

• Analyzing a Population is an assignment where I had to pick a selected segment of a population for analysis. This was related to the preparation of my (then) Senior Capstone.
