Student-Originated Studies: Research Projects in Literature and History


REVISED

Fall 2015 quarter

Taught by

British literature
American studies

Are you looking to design and write a research project in history or literature? Are you thinking of a capstone project or senior thesis? This SOS is designed for upper-division students who are ready to take on a long, investigative assignment of 25 pages or more. There will be a mix of independent work, individual attention with faculty, and class time.

Before you register, you should have a rough idea of the project you want to complete. Students will be expected to participate in weekly lectures and writing labs. You will learn how to structure your research project, form a timeline, design a prospectus, learn to read academic papers, and prepare an annotated bibliography before you draft, revise, and complete your project.
