Students are graded on their performances. Class will consist of an initial overview of the thesis process with attention to the writing of the prospectus. Most of the class will be devoted to oral presentations of each student's prospectus. Those students who are already well into their research will be encouraged to present a completed thesis chapter or section of a chapter. Students will sign up for presentation times during the first seminar meeting.
Attendance is mandatory.
