The purpose of this one-credit seminar is to provide structure and support for students completing a substantial research project—either an honors thesis or (for students enrolled in the Capstone seminar) a paper. The first seven sessions will provide guidance on the research process (planning a large project, finding and working with sources, writing and revision); the last six sessions will be used for peer review of work in progress, leading to the submission of a significant piece of research at the end of term.
Course Requirements:
