For Seniors
Senior Thesis Support Seminar - SOCIOL 99A
This is a seminar which meets once a week during the fall semester for students enrolled in Sociology 99. Attendance is mandatory. The purpose of the seminar is to help with the research stage of the thesis, to give detailed advice about the writing stage, and to share experiences in doing research. We have run the seminar for the last four years and it is described as very helpful by the students who took it.
Please see our Workshop's website for up-to-date information.
