PL 491 Senior Thesis Seminar II

(4 Credits)
This senior capstone course provides the tools and guidance necessary for a long-term research project on a philosophical topic. Building on the research completed in Seminar I, Seminar II is designed as a peer-exchange writing group with considerable time allotted to self-directed writing and revision. Seminar II culminates in (1) a general audience presentation of one’s thesis and (2) a contextualized and rigorously argued novel analysis of a philosophical issue.

As needed in spring semesters.

Prerequisite: Senior standing as a philosophy major and PL 490
