SC 761 Second Year Graduate Writing Seminar
Students should register for the two semester course in the spring term only, and contact
the professor about attending in the fall. A completed research proposal is required for
entry. The course does not meet every week.
The writing seminar is intended for second year MA and Ph.D. students working on their MA
theses/papers and second-year papers. The 3 credit, two semester seminar begins in fall and
continues into the spring term. Students are encouraged to take the seminar in the fall term
immediately following their completion of the spring Research Methods course (SC710). The
writing seminar employs a supportive structure and a collaborative learning environment to help
students to carry out their own independent projects. Students will be graded on the drafts of
their research papers submitted at the end of the spring semester
