This course is intended for senior Physics majors in the process of organizing and beginning their thesis research projects. This course requires independent guided research with one one-hour meeting per week or the equivalent. Student achievement will be evaluated by: 1) weekly progress on the research and by 2) the quality/content of a draft of the project introduction (featuring the problem and purpose of study, physics background, previous study and methods sections), as well as an initial project bibliography. Permission from the faculty project advisor required.
