Abstract

Due Tuesday, 2/14. 200-500 words.

You will write and post to your blog a formal abstract describing your senior project. You will also give a formal presentation to the class based on that abstract.

This is your formal proposal for your senior project. It is on the basis of this document, along with your oral presentation to the class, that I will decide if your project is one that will satisfy the requirements for this course and for graduation. Please spend the time, effort, thought, and energy appropriate to such an assignment.

Your abstract:

Should be a brief formal statement articulating as clearly and specifically as possible both what your thesis is with regard to your chosen topic, and how you plan to demonstrate your thesis through the project you have planned.

Should be well written, clear, concise, specific, and to the point.

Should include an original and informative title for your project. (Titles can be hard, and the final title for you project may change, but I would like you to come up with at least a provisional working title.)
