Preparation: The composition studio offers optional practice in synthesis and revision. This course supplies a fictional repair-café packet for offline practice. You may instead research a real public-interest topic using sources you can inspect; identify which route you used. No interviews, personal disclosure or external publication are required.
Begin anywhere, skip familiar work or change task depth. Skipping preserves work and does not count as completion.
0/6 investigations completed. Portfolio: not submitted. These records do not certify proficiency.
Lesson sequence
Each lesson opens on its own page. Choose a lesson to read, write and save your work.
Scope a question you can actually investigate
Turn a broad public-interest topic into a feasible question with a source plan and clear limits.
Choose sources for the claims they can support
Evaluate provenance, purpose, method and relevance rather than assigning a source a single blanket credibility score.
Preserve meaning when you borrow words or ideas
Quote accurately, paraphrase independently and attribute both without altering conditions or uncertainty.
Write a feature that keeps its evidence visible
Synthesize records and testimony into an accessible feature while distinguishing reporting, inference and unanswered questions.
Edit with reasons and a visible decision trail
Use an editorial brief, version comparison and response memo to accept, adapt or decline changes responsibly.
Prepare a release you can explain and correct
Perform a claim audit, prepare an accessible publication package and write a specific correction procedure.
An edited research feature with source dossier
Produce a research feature for a named audience using the fictional repair-café packet or inspected real sources. Label packet practice and independent research distinctly. Include a source dossier, editorial decision trail, accessible presentation and correction plan. Downloading a private review copy completes the release activity; public posting, interviews and disclosure of personal information are not required.
Course practice consists of the six investigations and the portfolio. The project rubric makes the quality expectations explicit; human review remains separate.
