ENGW3993

ENGW 3993 is a directed study that supports summa cum laude degree students beginning their honors theses in the Department of English, with a focus on creative writing. Students will complete ENGW 3993, the non-WI version, in the first semester for 2 credits followed consecutively by ENGW 3993W for 2 additional credits in the second semester, when the polished product is evaluated.

Summa candidates also must register for HCOL 3101H or HCOL 3102H, which counts as the classroom experience required for the completion of the Honors thesis.

The thesis must be approximately 30 pages in length and may be scholarly, critical, or creative in nature. If the candidate elects to submit a topic, such as poetry, that poses a problem with this length, they must obtain permission from the English honors adviser and from all of his or her readers to adjust the length of the completed thesis.

Summa candidates must apply for permission to register for ENGW 3993 one year before their expected graduation term. They will work with their faculty advisor to complete the University's directed study contract to clarify expectations and form a written agreement about expected workload, credits, and basis for grading.

Prereq: Honors candidacy in English, consent of English honors advisor
