8. You are excellent researchers
Teaching-as-research lets you apply your
research skills in a new context. Instead of
the lab, archives, community, or coffee shop,
the research occurs in the classroom.

you’ll submit a proposal giving
 title of your project
 research question (what do you want to learn?)
 experimental design and methods (how do you
want to do it?)

it?)

(Submit your proposal using a Google form linked to the SGTS blog.)

10. Goals for today
1. Tell the people about your project.
2. Give and get feedback, especially about
 ethical / privacy / harm concerns:
 your project cannot harm students’ success
 there can be no repercussions for a student who
does not participate in voluntary tasks
 Is the research question narrow enough that
you can accomplish something?
