Prerequisites: The instructor's permission. The spring sequence of the anthropology thesis seminar is a continuation of the fall semester, in which students designed research questions and proposals that will serve as a guide for the completion of their thesis or comparable senior capstone project. Only those students who expect to have completed the fall semester portion of the course by the end of the fall term, and who will continue on to complete their project in the spring, are allowed to register. Final enrollment is contingent upon actual and successful completion of first semester requirements, as determined by spring semester constructor in consultation with fall semester instructor. Weekly meetings will be devoted to the collaborative refinement of drafts, as well as working through issues of writing (evidence, voice, authority etc). All enrolled students are required to present their project at a symposium in the late spring, and the final grade is based primarily on successful completion of the thesis/ capstone project.
