titleProject Work
  • GEN2002 is a project-based course with focus on dealing with existential/security threats (eg, disruption to our food supply) through community engagement. This is not a course to research, analyze and propose new theoretical initiatives at the policy level, nor would we be dealing with overarching issues like climate change.  .  Executing a trial/protoype of your project idea is strongly advised. 

  • The course is spread out across two semesters. There will be 10 classes in the first semester (6 lectures + 4 tutorials), and students will work on completing their project proposal in the second semesterIf the proposal is developed early and deemed feasible, students may choose to implement it before the course ends.
