2012 Senior Projects
Five senior physical education majors presented their research projects in a forum that was open to the public. Faculty, staff, students, family and alumni attended. The mini research projects were designed by the students in consultation with one or more faculty members. In the semester long project students completed a literature review, identified a research question, stated a hypothesis, designed the study, collected and analyzed data and presented results in a written paper and an oral presentation.
