For your final assignment you will look at applying what you have learned through the semester to answer a question spatially.  The general guidelines are that you use GIS and the approaches that GIS enables to approach a question of your interest with 'questions of where'.  You should try to shed new light on something happening.  You should be careful not to try to do too big a question, but even if that happens it is okay.  You don't have to find the definitive answer but push further our knowledge about something.
