12 Legacy Project Assignment

Legacy Project

The Legacy Project is due this Friday at 9am, and is worth 20% of your overall grade. Since it is a group project, only one of your group members needs to send it to the instructors.

Based on the scholarly project, develop and document a policy product to address their specific pressing challenge. This can take many forms, according to what response might best effect societal change. Possible products might include some of the following: a mobile or web app, op-ed campaign, video, web page, policy or opinion piece, blog post, ministerial briefing, bylaw, stakeholder training, or other publicly accessible contribution. Since the legacy product(s) may be actions or videos, each group will submit a brief report (1-2 pages plus bibliography) describing the product, its rationale, its delivery mechanisms and its sustainability (e.g., proposed for continued engagement). Done in a group of 3-4 students. Supports learning outcomes 3-6. Assessment will focus on the submitted work itself: the group collaboration aspect of this assignment will be assessed under “Participation and Collaboration”.

Key Information:
