GNST 4350: Interdisciplinary Project

This guide is specific to completing the Project Outline, Project Research (Problem and Audience), and Project Research (Format and Minors) steps of the GNST 4350 Interdisciplinary Project.

How do you know?

What's the problem?  Prove it!

OK, the problem is obvious, right?  Not to your audience. 

To prove to your audience that the problem exists, you have to build a case for it:

  • provide a background (history) of the problem,
  • show evidence that it is a problem,
  • give examples of how the problem shows up in the real world,
  • explain the negative consequences of the problem,
  • provide reasons the problem exists,
  • and explain why it must be addressed. 

You're going to need to do research.
