MARTIAL ARTS STUDIES 340 - Senior Thesis or Presentation

Institution:

University of Bridgeport

Subject:

Description:

The senior thesis or a creative presentation based on the Martial Arts emphasizes research and research methods. This course may only be taken after having completed 90 semester hours or more in the program. If a student elects to write a thesis, his/her work will be expected to demonstrate a theoretical understanding of the Martial Arts (e.g., technical, philosophical, and historical) and their relationship with the broader cultural, philosophical, and social context in which they evolved. Independent research and creative thinking will be emphasized as well as the ability to gather and conduct research and formulate a position in a critical and analytical manner. Students choosing to do a presentation based on their Martial Arts skills would normally do so both to demonstrate their technical mastery of the Martial Arts as well as their creativity. The senior presentation might consist of projects such as the creation and performance of a new form or the adaptation of a Martial Arts form to music or to poetry. The presentation should show ways in which the Martial Arts contribute to a broader sociocultural context. 3 semester hours
