ECON 674Capstone Research Project

In this course, students organize individually, or in teams of two or three, to write a report on a contemporary topic in economics that relates to their co-op work term experience. Teams are responsible for organizing regular meetings to coordinate work tasks, keeping a record of individual contributions to the project. The report should reflect the connection between academic studies and co-op work experience, demonstrating evidence of critical analysis, good organization, clarity, and conciseness. The report with be presented to the current cohort of MA students and members of the department's graduate committee. The final grade will be assigned by the Graduate Advisor. This course is restricted to students in enrolled in the MA in Economics and MA in Economics - Water - Co-operative programs.
