Independent study leading to a research honor essay on a topic chosen by the student and two readers. Weekly meetings with tutor. U se o f s secondary sou rces should rec eive seco ndary emphasis, but should cultivate the student’s own critical thinking and demonstrate his/her readiness to join the discussion among published writers on the topic.
