Course Description: This intensive, year-long course offers 4th year students the opportunity to reflect on their individual learning as an undergraduate in English, while developing their own major independent scholarly project. Drawing on workshops and peer review, bi-monthly seminar meetings will introduce students to advanced research methodologies and will provide an important framework for students as they develop, refine, and present their individual senior essays. This course is strongly recommended if thinking about graduate studies in English!
Course Features: As one of our smallest and most intimate courses, D98 focuses on collaborative workshopping and peer support, all while students get to explore a topic entirely of their choosing. It also offers the chance to work one-on-one with a faculty advisor and craft a professional presentation of the work at an end-of-year colloquium.
Course Delivery: This course will involve both synchronous and asynchronous components. In addition to workshops and peer review, students will have the opportunity to work individually with the instructor and with a faculty supervisor in their chosen research area.
Instructor: Convened by Prof. Yulia Ryzhik, with individual faculty advisors
If you are interested or have questions, please contact Prof. Yuylia Ryzhik or Prof. Kara Gaston.
Please note a minimum GPA of 3.5 in English courses is required to register for D98.
