Section Information for Spring 2016

Prerequisites: permission of department and ENGH 400.  This course gives students who wish to write an English honors thesis guidance in research methods, while offering the opportunity to share works in progress in a workshop format.  Theses of about 20-25 pages in length are written under the supervision of the instructor and a faculty mentor with expertise in the thesis area.  Students may take the thesis seminar concurrently and in coordination with another approved course offered by the English Department.  In this case, the instructor in that course serves as thesis reader and advisor.  Students choosing this option receive credit for the thesis seminar and second course; however, thesis work may substitute for some assigned work in the second course by arrangement with the instructors of both the thesis seminar and second course.  Please contact the instructor during the fall semester if you have any questions about what might constitute a topic for the thesis.

ENGH 401 001 enrollment is controlled. Contact the department for approval to register via Patriot Web.
