G. Set aside faculty time for consultation. Our students meet together in small or large groups eight times for three hours over the semester. They meet individually with experts from the faculty, the library, and elsewhere many more times. This may not be as onerous as it appears. Faculty will be consulted for their expertise on subjects they enjoy discussing.
Students use the time before and after class, walking to the library, etc., to good purpose.
However, be warned that a loquacious student may apprise you of every step taken along the way. H. Two evaluations with written comments take time at the end of the semester. Department honors at Haverford weights the grade in the Seminar on Evidence heavily. A fairly detailed outline of what is expected in the object research paper and the document edition can teach students the difference between their own findings and those of the secondary works they have consulted. John Spielman and Susan Stuard are professors of history and Margaret Schaus is a reference librarian at Haverford College.
