Dana and I met Monday afternoon, and he was really enthusiastic about my proposal! He asked all of his charges to write out a (rough) two page proposal, and we'd go from there in the meeting. My proposal listed my three ideas, the project and two papers, and my idea was to combine the project with a smaller paper. So, it's a go. I will be doing the half-hour show - either in studio or in the field - and an accompanying paper examining the challenges and difficulties involved with undergrad production exercises.
The research begins! Dana gave me a copy of the (4th year RTA) Practicum and Human Dynamics Handbook to read through. He also asked that I begin looking into the Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media" for articles related to production education, to get an idea of what has been written on the subject. There are a number of other media-focused journals that I'll also check.
Something tells me I will be conducting a great deal of primary research in this project, so I'm thankful to have the people and the resources at my fingertips.
Once I start my initial look into the journals, I will report back!
