Honors Thesis 2006-07 |
Sept. 8 : Thesis proposal form due, including name of 2nd reader.
Sept. 15 : Detailed thesis statement (1-2 paragraphs), preliminary bibliography and outline due.
October 13 : Revised statement of thesis, revised bibliography and revised outline due.
October 27 : Draft of Introduction due.
Between November and early April: I should see drafts of all the sections of your thesis as they are written (with the possible exception of your conclusion). I will put detailed comments on these drafts which you can use in making revisions. It is important that these drafts be as polished and complete as you can make them, because this is the period in which I will give criticism that you have a chance to address before turning in the final draft that will be graded. When you turn in the final draft of the completed thesis, I will read it carefully and grade it–you will not have another opportunity then to respond to my criticisms with the hope of getting a better grade. Be sure to use the "Track Changes" function in Word when submitting revisions of work..
April 9 : Final draft of thesis is due. This is the version that will be graded. I will not put detailed comments on this draft–I will only note obvious mistakes that need correcting for the version you submit for graduation.
April 16 : Final version will be returned to you with grade. You still may make last minute changes and corrections, and properly format according to College guidelines.
April 30: Signed thesis is due
