Consult the director of undergraduate studies. htba (0) There will be a mandatory senior essay meeting on Monday, September 7, 2009, at a time and location to be announced. Research and writing of the required senior essay under the supervision of HSHM or History faculty. To assist in selection of source materials and of a topic, special library resource and methods colloquia are held during the fall term. Students must attend one colloquium; those planning to start their senior essay work in January should attend in September. Students expecting to graduate in May 2010 enroll in 490a in the fall term and complete their essay in 491b in the spring term. Students expecting to graduate in December 2010 enroll in 490b in the spring term, and should notify the senior essay director by December 7, 2009. Each student majoring in HSHM must submit a completed Statement of Intention form signed by the faculty member who has agreed to supervise the essay to the HSHM administrator in 207 hgs no later than September 14, 2009 (for hshm 490a), or January 22, 2010 (for hshm 490b). Statement forms are available in 207 hgs and in the HSHM Senior Essay Handbook. Students enrolled in 490a or b must submit to their advisers a prospectus, an annotated bibliography, and at least ten pages of the essay or a detailed outline of the entire project by December 7, 2009 (490a), or May 3, 2010 (490b). Those who meet the requirement receive a temporary grade of sat, which will be changed to the grade received for the final essay. Failure to meet any requirement may result in the student's being asked to withdraw from hshm 490a or b. Students enrolled in hshm 491a or b must submit a completed senior essay to 211 hgs no later than 5 p.m. on April 5, 2010, in the spring term, or no later than 5 p.m. on December 7, 2009, in the fall term. Essays submitted after 5 p.m. will be subject to grade penalties. In order to graduate from Yale College, a student majoring in HSHM must receive a passing grade on the senior essay. The essay should take the form of a substantial article (approximately 12,500 words or 40 double-spaced typed pages). Please note that 12,500 words is the maximum word limit; there is no minimum word limit. The word limit is significant insofar as precision, clarity, and conciseness are essential to good historical writing. More details about the senior essay requirement are available in the HSHM Senior Essay Handbook.
