Class Description:
The purpose of this course is to assist students in fulfilling CLA's senior project requirement, the 'capstone' of the undergraduate career, by creating the learning environment to write a final research paper. Enrollment is limited to student majors in Sociology. The class provides a structure and guided format for completing the senior project. Students select a topic, formulate a research question, read on the topic, conduct preliminary research or use already experienced research, analyze your material and locate within existing debates, and write up the materials as a final analytic paper. Students can choose to focus their project on a new topic, or materials from a previous class, or from an already experienced study abroad, service learning, or employment opportunity. Each week we will discuss specific aspects of the research-and-writing process, so that the final paper will be thought through and written, step by step, throughout the semester. Course work requires intensive engagement in the design of a project and active class discussion of the issues students face in the process.
Grading:

Class Description:
In this "capstone" version of the course, we will be looking back at what sociology was all about, looking forward to what sociology majors do after graduation. Most important, the course will provide the resources, assistance and encouragement to help majors in the Sociology Department to fulfill this requirement for a paper in the major field during the senior year -- mostly based on observational studies tied to service learning projects. The course is organized as a seminar and workshop. There are no formal lectures, but the instructor will present overviews of the stages of research and writing necessary to complete the senior project paper. Students build their major project through completing guided, periodic assignments. Along the way, we will be reading and thinking about how to apply a sociological eye to understand success, failure, and the world around us.
