JOUR4733V: Honors Thesis Seminar

The Honors Thesis Seminar is designed to help students write a thesis to earn a degree with Honors. By carrying out an individual’s thesis work with a set of other students doing the same thing, students will receive support, as well as feedback and ideas, from their peers.We will meet as a class and with subgroups who share a particular research need (e.g., how to develop an on-line survey or experiment, developing a content analysis coding system, learning how to carry out a quantitative data analysis). You will receive and give peer feedback. In addition to our seminar, you will have the chance to meet with the instructor to talk about your thesis, discuss ideas, research methods, and data analysis plans, and receive feedback on thesis drafts. The regular class meetings and outside meetings with the instructors are meant to hold you accountable to yourself and to the instructor for making progress towards completing a thesis on time.prereq: Honors, [Jour major, Strat Comm major, or Media and Information major]
