HAA 1951 Honors Thesis Seminar

This seminar is intended for undergraduate students pursuing an honors thesis project in the Department of the History of Art and Architecture. Students will devise and carry out research for their thesis paper under the direct supervision of a qualified faculty member in the department, depending on the student’s specialized interest. That faculty member will guide the student through the production of the paper in accordance with stipulated deadlines for outlines and drafts leading up to the final work. (See the Honors Thesis contract which is required of students who enroll in HAA 1950: Honors Thesis.) The Honors Thesis Seminar is designed as a supplement to this process. The seminar will provide a forum for maintaining steady progress on the project and engage the student in a research community. It will also serve to enhance visual analysis and critical reading skills. And students will acquire supplemental professionalizing skills that will allow them to build on the advantages of undertaking an honor's thesis paper or independent project.
