Reading Journals
Each student will keep a journal of notes/short reflections on the assigned readings for the class. For each set of readings, I will provide a short list of discussion questions to help focus your reading and prepare you for our class session. You can, but need not, also use these questions as the basis of your readings journal entries. Note that this should not be a summary of the readings, but some of your thoughts about their themes and debates

Final Research Project
Individual research projects are longer papers on particular topics within the broad area of water and sanitation planning. Students completing this assignment will be allowed to select the topic they wish to research; note, however, that the focus must be on policy and/or planning aspects of water supply and sanitation in developing countries.
