432 to receive credit for the sociology thesis. Upon satisfactory completion of the thesis, the student will receive three units of credit. Each student should turn in two copies of her completed thesis -one copy for her advisor and one copy for her reader. One copy will be returned to the student and one copy will become the property of the Sociology and Anthropology Department. The final written product of the thesis will be evaluated only if the student has followed the proper advising procedures and met the deadlines as discussed in earlier sections of these instructions, or as stated in written communication to the student.
Plagiarism is a serious academic offense.
A plagiarized thesis will not be accepted and will be given a failing grade. Assuming the procedures have been followed, the thesis will be evaluated with the assigning of a letter grade and a statement of the evaluation by the advisor and the reader. A copy of the evaluation form is attached. Place references in parentheses at an appropriate point in the text by the last name of the author, year of publication, and pagination where appropriate. Use footnotes only for substantive comments.
