This one-credit course is required of all senior sociology majors not enrolled in Project DC (SOCI-437).  In the fall semester seniors develop their senior thesis ideas through workshops on research questions, methodologies, theories, and writing issues.  It will only meet once a week and not every week. The final product is to get you committed to a realistic/ feasible/ and sociological thesis project.
Every student who takes this course is expected to end the fall term with two written items completed and accepted by the instructor in the course: a formal thesis proposal and either a written review of the relevant literature (like a first thesis-chapter) or an annotated bibliography of the relevant literature.   These materials will be used in the spring semester Sociology Senior Seminar (SOCI-304).
