PHIL 490 Senior Capstone Seminar
This course is designed to facilitate writing a senior thesis or capstone seminar paper in Philosophy. There are no required texts or required topics. There will be no lectures. The course will be run as a seminar. Each student will assign the rest of the class (including the instructor) short reading assignments pertaining to his/her thesis/paper research. Each week the students who assigned readings are responsible for leading class discussion (approximately 2-3 assignments per class). As the semester proceeds, each student will write and complete a research paper proposal and also complete a final paper based on this proposal.
