Senior Honors Thesis II: Research Execution and Defense

3 units

This is the second course in the two-semester Senior Honors sequence in Public Health and Society. Building on the approved prospectus developed in PUBHLTHSOC 4998, students collect and analyze data, write results and discussion chapters, and complete a substantial thesis (50-80 pages). The course provides structured support through writing workshops, peer review, and faculty feedback as students work independently on their research. The course emphasizes analytical depth, iterative revision, and translation of research for diverse audiences, culminating in a presentation at an undergraduate research symposium.
