Research Seminar for M.A. Students in Jewish, Islamic, and Middle Eastern Studies

3 units

This course is meant to support graduate students as they write and revise their M.A. papers for defense in the spring. Central to the undertaking is serious editorial response to others' ongoing research and writing, and the refining effort of revision. Each paper will be work-shopped at least once during the semester. Students will develop their peer-review skills while making progress on their own research. Three credits. Permission of instructor.
