Evans, James E.

Journal of Geological Education, v39 n3 p221-23 May 1991

Describes an assignment in a graduate-level course in sedimentary-basin analysis that requires students to write a research-grant proposal. The assignment forces students to develop a topic suitable for original research. Each year 25 percent of the class turns these assignments into master's thesis projects and/or submits them as student grant proposals. (PR)
