In this class, students are expected to outline, organize, research, document, as well as write their senior thesis. During class will review, or in some cases introduce, research skills and bibliographic methods (plagiarism will result in instant failure of the course). Students should come prepared with a well-thought topic on the first day of class. The first homework assignment is a one-paragraph thesis statement (MLA 1.8.2). There is no required text but a copy of the MLA Handbook is strongly recommended. |
