ENG 542 - Research Capstone II

Institution:

Elmhurst University

Subject:

English Courses

Description:

The Research Capstone series gives students the opportunity to apply what they have learned in their course work to a problem, issue, or topic of their own choosing. The range of possible projects is wide, from the development of new curricular material to publishable work in literary criticism or composition studies. ENG 541 is taught in Fall Term, ENG 542 in Spring Term; students must take both courses sequentially. ENG 541 entails class meetings with course work on research methods in composition, literature, and classroom practices, and leads to the development of a project proposal. ENG 542 primarily involves individual regular conferences with a faculty supervisor, leading to the final project. The capstone project should be completed by the end of Spring Term, though it can be submitted as late as the end of summer following ENG 542. Prerequisites: completion of four courses; or completion of three courses, including at least one from literature and one from writing, with a fourth course taken concurrently with ENG 541. Exceptions to this policy are at the discretion of the program coordinator.
