Welcome Back: Senior Thesis Info Dump

1/8/2019

 
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
  • Get your library card!  Do it NOW!
  • Work time for Community of Resilience Project and MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
  • Amanda or Ella- do you have my Dead Aid copy?
  • Other missing books from first semester

Starter 1:  Independent Work Survey
Take the survey linked above!   Make sure the click the "send me a copy of my results" button at the bottom of the page before you submit- we'll be coming back to these later!  We'll review the results as a class, and then in pairs you'll discuss the following things:
  1. What is your biggest anticipated difficulty in working independently on your thesis?  Help each other develop potential strategies for overcoming your difficulties.
  2. What is your biggest anticipated strength in working independently on your thesis?

Check in
With your table group, check in about the current state of your research question, project, etc.  What feedback did you get from your POL?  What work have you done since then?  How are you feeling about your readiness to jump into research?

Update Research Question/Project Document
Update the document above with your post-POL research question and project.  Don't remember your feedback?  Check in with Ashley to get a copy of her notes from POLs.

Info Dump:  Review Deadlines, Honors, Expectations, etc.
  1. Senior Project Words of Inspiration!
  2. Familiarize yourself with Senior Project DP Page
  3. Review Senior Project Deadlines
  4. Review Work Expectations
  5. Review Honors Expectations- I need to know by TOMORROW if you plan on doing honors, so Jess can appropriately update your mid-year transcripts.

Using the Library Database
Follow along with Ashley into the magical world of the Durango Public Library's academic database!
*Matt Hughes has a good screencast on how to do this as well. It is linked on the Senior Project page. 


HOMEWORK
Find (but don't read) 3-5 potential sources that seem to be about your general topic.  Have them bookmarked in the library folder so that you can easily access them at the start of class tomorrow.  If you don't have these bookmarked, you'll be behind for tomorrow's class.
