This course allows the student to develop an intensive investigative research study under close supervision. The thesis seminar also gives the student a chance to acquire many valuable skills, including (a) knowledge of how to manage a large, in-depth study of a single, challenging problem; (b) an understanding of the ethical issues related to research; (c) sharpened organizational and communication skills; and (d) an appreciation of the scientific inquiry process. The course culminates in a written document and oral thesis presentation.
