As these examples illustrate, all project topics require a thorough understanding of the relevant literature and a sophisticated approach to project development and presentation. Engaging in these projects provides students with practical experience that cultivates expertise in their areas of focus and prepares them to become effective practitioner-scholars. To achieve this goal, it is advisable for students to pursue topics where they already possess substantial practical experience.
