URBS 100: Introduction to Urban Studies Fall 2015 - Kendrick On-Site Investigation: Final Report Guidelines

• Your final report should be about 800 words in length. • Include in-line citations when you refer to information from your sources.

This can be in the form of a parenthetical citation with author’s last name and page number, or with a link to a website.

• At the end of your report, include a bibliography of sources. • Include 2-3 images that clearly demonstrate points you discuss in the

report. Integrate these into the text. • The report must relate key observations to one of the topics discussed in

class. For example, if you visit a City Beautiful plan, you should compare the plan to what we learned about City Beautiful in our lecture and readings.

• Grading is based on the site report’s relevancy to the class subject matter, the report’s critical engagement with the issues raised by the class, and the student’s participation in that week’s class discussion (respond to my comments on your report, comment on at least one of your classmates’ reports).

• Post your final report on Monday, November 23. To post, click on the “On-Site Investigations – Final Report” discussion forum toward the bottom of Moodle, then click Add a new discussion. Each one of your reports should exist in a separate thread/discussion.

• Respond to my comments and comment on at least one of your classmates’ reports by Monday, December 7.
