Sorry

Sorry if I missed some of you during my afternoon office hours today (T 2/20). I was home with a sick daughter. I'll try to be in the office some on Wednesday though. You can add a comment to this post to let me know what times would be most helpful. I'll post here again when I know more about me schedule. I should be in my regular office hours on Thursday, though, as well as during our class time. See you then.

Abstract

Due Tuesday, 2/13. 150-300 words.

Write and post to your blog a formal abstract describing your senior project proposal. Bring a printed copy to class to hand in to me. You will also give a brief presentation to the class based on that abstract.

Your abstract should articulate 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.

Your abstract should be clear, well written, concise, specific, and 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 now.

Working Bibliography

Post your working bibliography to your blog and bring a printed copy with you to class on Tuesday, 2/6.

Your working bibliography should be as complete and exhaustive as possible. It should contain ALL books, journals, articles, and other library resources that are relevant to your particular project -- aim for at least 50 references, with at least 20 from non-book sources such as journals, online sources, newspapers, magazines, interviews, films, recordings, etc. It should contain not only sources available at Belk Library, but elsewhere as well.

Your working bibliography should be in MLA format (Modern Language Association). There are copies of this guide available at the reserve desk in the library. A quick reference guide to MLA format can also be found at: http://library.osu.edu/sites/guides/mlagd.php

Your working bibliography will change and develop over time as you continue your research. Some sources may drop out as you realize they lack relevance, while other sources, or even whole new categories of sources, may be added. Your working bibliography should reflect a broad and deep search into the published resource materials relevant to your topic.
