- Class Description:
- The major paper seminar is the capstone course for history majors. After spending many semesters reading other scholars' ideas and interpretations, you now have the opportunity to research, analyze, and write your own original work of scholarship. It can be one of the most rewarding intellectual experiences of your time at the University of Minnesota. The senior paper consists of a 20-30 page paper based on original research in primary sources (sources like letters, diaries, newspaper articles, interviews, government documents, etc., rather than scholarly articles or books). It can be on a topic of your choosing, but you are highly encouraged to discuss your paper topic with the instructor before the course begins. Refining the topic and even changing it often occurs during the course of the semester, but it is important to have some ideas before hand. This semester long course introduces students to the primary methods of historical research, analysis, and writing and guides students through the process of defining a topic, finding relevant secondary and primary sources, writing a research proposal, conducting the research, outlining and writing a first draft, and revising that draft to create a final paper.
