Your Project
------------
Please describe your project:
This project presents a set of in-class exercises to be completed over the course of 6 days in an advanced undergraduate or graduate course. The focus is to improve understanding of review papers and how they can be used to identify research gaps in a field of study. An extension of this project would be to use the research gaps as topics for student research projects also completed in the same semester. I plan to use these exercises in my Wildland Fire Ecology class (EVS 414/514), but they would work well in many UNCW classes.
