Discussions in the senior seminar start broadly with general methodological principles and then become more focused as the student finalizes the specific topic on which they will research and write. Bibliographies, outlines, and abstracts of the senior paper are drafted and revised during the senior seminar, so that research strategies are well in hand by the beginning of the Spring Semester during which the senior paper is written. Students are encouraged to submit the abstracts either to the Art History Spring Symposium or to the University's Undergraduate Research Symposium. http://www.obia.utah.edu/2006Accred/soa/capstone_courses/art_cap.htm (2 of 2)10/13/2006 12:11:20 PM |
