Requirements

 

Thesis grades: Final senior thesis grades will be decided collaboratively by each student’s thesis advisor and seminar instructor (Ms. Batur or Mr. Nevarez).  Senior thesis grades will be determined by (a) your thesis advisor's evaluation of the finished thesis, and (b) your seminar instructor's assessment of your seminar performance. For the latter, seminar instructors will take into account a student’s course attendance, participation in class discussion and activities, the quality of work produced throughout the semester, as well as the timely completion of course assignments and meeting required departmental deadlines.
