Information About LCC 4701 & LCC 4702
A sequence of two 1-hour writing courses are required of students participating in the Research Option:
- LCC 4701: Undergraduate Research Proposal Writing, and
- LCC 4702: Undergraduate Research Thesis Writing.
LCC 4701 is intended to guide undergraduate students from all disciplines through the stages of writing a proposal for their research option project and subsequent thesis. Topics include planning, research and documentation, prose style and editing, document design, ethics, abstracts, and oral presentation of the proposal. Because the course will enroll from different disciplines, students will also become acquainted with research topics, ways of framing arguments, and making points outside their fields of study, which will help them develop a more interdisciplinary perspective.
