Junior Independent Work

Undergraduate catalogue

Philosophy juniors participate in a junior seminar where groups of 6-7 students meet weekly with a faculty member to discuss readings selected by the instructor. At the end of the semester, each student writes a final paper of at least 5,000 words on a topic related to the seminar. Final grades are based on the final paper (75%) and in-class participation/assignments (25%), which may include shorter papers and/or oral presentations.
