This course prepares students for writing their final BA theses. It involves several general sessions focusing on the ways of doing scholarly research and starting writing, and then follows with bi-weekly sessions with a hands-on approach (choosing a topic, choosing a supervisor, how to start research, how to work with and evaluate sources, how to write an outline and bibliography, etc.). At the end of the course, students will present a short BA thesis proposal, consisting of a tentative title, supervisor, topic description, research question, brief outline, and preliminary bibliography of primary and secondary sources.
