Assess graduate students' ability to design and justify a mixed-methods evaluation of social and environmental impacts of urban green infrastructure projects, including formulating research questions and hypotheses; selecting and justifying quantitative measures (e.g., biodiversity indices, air/water quality, sensor data, GIS/remote sensing) and qualitative approaches (e.g., interviews, focus groups, participant observation); developing sampling, integration and triangulation strategies for convergent or sequential designs; addressing validity, reliability, bias, equity, and ethical/community engagement; outlining analytic workflows for combined datasets and translating findings into actionable policy or management recommendations.
