Class Description:
Major Project Seminar is designed to provide sociology majors with resources and guidance necessary to complete an independent research project. To facilitate your success, I will present material and provide resources relevant to each stage of the research and writing processes including: formulating a research question, reviewing relevant literature, designing the data collection, collecting and analyzing data, and writing a final paper. At each of the above-mentioned stages, you will write and submit a section of your paper, steadily working toward a complete research project due at the close of the semester. You will receive detailed written feedback and one-on-one consultations throughout the research and writing processes. I encourage each of you to investigate a sociological topic of personal interest, thus increasing the likelihood that completion of your major project research experience, though demanding, will be both professionally rewarding and intellectually gratifying.
