<i>This course is designed to involve you as a civically engaged citizen consistent with the second pillar of University Honors: </i><b><i>Cultivating a Culture of Contribution.</i></b><i> Through presentations, readings, and workshops you will be challenged
to become civically aware with a specific focus on the Inland Empire, especially the city and county of Riverside, and UCR. Throughout this course you will be asked to reflect on what you believe and how you can effect meaningful change. As a W course,
HNPG 2W will have regular written assignments based on various aspects of the course related to civic engagement. Throughout the course you will be introduced to a number of projects from individuals who want you to be involved. The goal is to have you become
involved in projects that are meaningful to you and that may well continue beyond this quarter. Additional opportunities for Honors students exist in HNPG2B and HNPG 2C. </i></div>

This course extends and strengthens your understanding of how scholars approach research / creative activity / experiential learning across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. To facilitate what students will need to do for their own capstone
project, the course will demonstrate how scholars select a significant issue, review what is already known about it, and pose a research question whose answer promises to advance knowledge. </div>

Through Honors Faculty Fellow lectures, discussion sections and library workshops, you will receive support and tools around the capstone process that will result in a better understanding of how to develop the skills associated with completing a large project,
the submission of an approved capstone proposal form, making an oral presentation of your work, and a detailed prospectus outlining your plan for researching and completing your capstone.</div>
