GRK 87 Thesis I
Independent research and writing under supervision of a member of the Classics faculty. Open to honors students in their senior year and to other qualified students by consent of the Department. Students register for GRK 87, rather than CLST 87, when their intended thesis or equivalent honors project involves substantial amounts of reading in ancient Greek.
Students pursue the research program laid out in their thesis proposal. By the end of this first term of honors work, they have they will have begun substantive work on a thesis or equivalent project; e.g., a first chapter. Upon the recommendation of the research advisor, the department may, at the end of the first term, give permission for the student to register for CLST 88.
A grade of "ON" is assigned pending completion of the thesis or equivalent project later in the year, at which point the "ON" will be replaced by a final grade. If the advisor does not recommend continuation to CLST 88, the "ON" will be replaced with a letter grade upon completion of a shorter independent paper or project approved by the research advisor, at which point the student may petition the Classics Department for Culminating Experience credit to be assigned.
