This course begins by exploring a major paradigm or debate in the field and reviewing research methodology and production techniques. Students then undertake an individual or collaborative research or creative project (in some cases building upon work started in another class or independent study), meeting to workshop ideas and present works-in-progress. Research projects will incorporate multimedia presentation, and creative projects will be accompanied by written materials. The semester culminates in a panel/film exhibition.

Required for FMST senior majors and minors.
