- Class Description:
- This is the first course in a two-semester sequence designed to help honors students majoring in sociology prepare their senior projects research papers. Throughout this semester, we review key issues in the design of social research as students work on their independent projects. Specific activities in this semester of the course sequence include development of a research topic, exploring and reviewing relevant existing literature, applying for human subjects approval, putting together a faculty committee for the project, and completing first drafts of the literature review and methods sections of the research paper. Some students may begin data collection in the fall, but data collection and analysis, as well as the write-up and presentation of the final paper, are the main activities of the spring course. Students must take both courses in the sequence.
