In this class, we will discuss what characterizes a thesis project, how to work effectively with your advisor, how to organize a long paper, and how to use sources in a thesis. You will have the chance to talk about your project and ask questions. If there's a book report in your future, take advantage of a free Writing Center workshop to help you accomplish this task. We will talk about writing reviews of non-fiction works, such as ethnographies, historical accounts, anthropological studies, or collections of case studies. After talking about the criteria typically used to evaluate a book, we'll move on to examine the objectives, content, form, and tone of some successful reviews.
