Description

PHIL 401 is open to seniors who are declared Honors concentrators in Philosophy, and to others by permission of the instructor. This seminar is an intensive workshop designed to help students identify and
begin an independent philosophical research project. The seminar will provide advice, discussion, feedback, and support to enable students to enter the Winter Term in a good position to complete a successful Honors Thesis project. By the end of the term, those enrolled in the seminar will have completed a survey of relevant literature, a thesis prospectus, and a draft chapter of the thesis itself.
Along the way, thesis writers will regularly receive feedback on their writing projects from the seminar instructor, as well as from peers.
