ENG 690 Thesis Research
In this course students do research in preparation to write their Master’s thesis in English literature or creative writing, depending on the track they have selected. Each student selects a topic, asks an English faculty member who approves the topic to direct the thesis, and forms a thesis committee composed of Humanities faculty. Students also compile a list of 12-15 books and/or scholarly articles on their topics. Style format appropriate to the discipline is also covered. This course should be taken during the semester before students plan to write their thesis. A plan or outline for the thesis is prepared. Students may also begin to write a draft of their thesis.
