Class Description:
This is the second part of a 2-semester sequence whose purpose is to help Sociology honors students develop their honors theses. The Spring proseminar will guide students in the conduct of their research projects, involving data gathering (surveys, ethnographic observation, content analysis, or archival documents), analyzing their data, writing the findings, and completing all sections of the thesis. Each student will present the work to the class at the end of the semester. Class discussions, sometimes in small groups, will focus on student research projects: the opportunities, obstacles, and challenges encountered as the work progresses. Students will also read, evaluate, and edit one another's work in collaborative teams.
