Part I: Choose your topic: due December 5

Let me know which topic(s) you are interested in pursuing for your final essay.

Part II: Primary sources: due January 9

Submit a list of sources that you will start from to find out more about your essay topic. This might include a Chance article, a newspaper article, background documents from the WWW or from an appropriate journal, chapters from a textbook, and so on. You should have at least two sources to start, but needn't have more than four, at this point. I will pass back comments on these potential sources, and information on further reading that may be relevant.

Submit a one page essay proposal. Details on this will be provided on or before January 23. There are three examples available for perusing.
