The Junior Research Project Seminar is the single most in-depth and challenging endeavor that Meridian students take on. Every year, each junior poses a question that they would like to explore. They spend the entire year researching that question, including reading books, analyzing academic articles, picking the brains of librarians, and interviewing experts in the field. In Trimester 1, students laid the foundation for the year by developing their research questions, beginning research, and synthesizing that research through a rigorous note-taking process.
This trimester, students undertook the task of summarizing and synthesizing their newfound knowledge through a literature review. A literature review is a uniquely styled paper in which the writer’s voice must take a back seat to the authors, scholars, and practitioners from the student’s research.
Below is each student’s literature review.
Below the literature reviews is a padlet on which you can write thoughts, questions, comments, and compliments to the students!
