Thesis Part 1: Research and Development

Catalog description

We are experimenting with a change to Thesis with this pilot class. The idea is to extend thesis over both semesters, each with a 2 point class that meets every other week. Part 1 focuses on research and concept development. Students will have the time to explore deeply into their areas of interest, narrow their focus and, finally, develop a concept and plan for their final thesis project. They will be structured assignments throughout on research methodologies and concept development techniques. They will end the semester with a paper and a plan for design and production.
