SOCY7761 Second Year Graduate Writing Seminar
The writing seminar is intended for second year M.A. and Ph.D. students working on their M.A.
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 (SOCY7710). 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.
