E Lit 399 - Senior Research Seminar

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

This course is tailored to the needs of students who are pursuing honors in English in their senior year. It develops students' ability to gauge how different approaches affect the research and the outcome of a project in literary studies. It guides them in their research by analyzing and discussing research design, the construction of an archive, and the assessment and use of sources. Assignments include annotated bibliographies, summaries of the critical debate on student topics, abstract writing, research presentations, as well as drafts and final versions of chapters or essays. We workshop many of these assignments in the classroom and practice peer review. The seminar stretches over two semesters, ending before spring break, when honors work is due in the college. It is required for students who pursue honors by course work and by thesis.
