Junior Research Seminar Information, Fall 2009

Junior concentrators thinking about being honors candidates must enroll in at least one junior research seminar (Government 98) in order to be eligible to write a thesis in the senior year. Syllabi for fall term junior research seminars will be available online and at the Undergraduate Program Office as they become available. Classes begin Wednesday, September 2. Please note that junior seminars meet during the first week of classes. (You should check the online course catalog and supplement for course changes (if any) and classroom locations.) If a seminar is scheduled to meet for the first time after the lottery deadline, there may be a brief informational meeting; times and locations will be announced as they become available. The junior research seminar lottery form must be submitted to the Undergraduate Program Office at CGIS, Knafel Building, 1737 Cambridge St. by 12:00 noon on Friday, September 4. Students who fail to submit a 98 lottery form on time will receive last priority in the assignment of seminars. Lottery results will be posted on the Undergraduate Program website by the evening of September 4. An e-mail will go out when results are posted. No results will be divulged before then. Your patience will be much appreciated!
