Recommendation Report for Spring 24
This is the biggest project of the semester and may take 10-15 active hours over the project cycle. You must conduct research, analyze sources, and write ~3,000 words of content (about 10-20 single-spaced pages total).
Requirements List: Imagine you work for a think tank in your field (a collection of thought leaders and researchers tasked with solving problems). You are focused on comparing solutions to an issue with sustainability, equity, or economic impacts. You’ve found the leading TWO solutions and are researching the best option given the current technological, social, and economic climate.
You need to conduct primary (you generate data) and secondary research to directly compare the solutions on 3 standards (think effectiveness, costs, logistics, social perceptions, acceptability, etc.). You then write a formal recommendation report that details the results of your research, targeted toward decision-makers on the topic. You write a cover letter addressed to that stakeholder.
