79-702 Graduate Research Seminar II
12 units, Carnegie Mellon University
The goal of this semester's work is to revise and improve the paper you completed in 79-701 on the basis of summer research and work during the semester. The finished product should be either a revised journal-length article or a longer piece that might eventually serve as the foundation of one or more chapters of a dissertation. Students should plan to make the choice of which product they will work on in consultation with the course instructor and the advisor. Learning Objectives By the end of the semester, students should have: * improved their skills of revising their writing in response to critical evaluations; * developed further the ability to critique constructively their own work and the work of others; * deepened their analysis of primary and secondary sources relevant to their research topics by completing an annotated bibliography; * learned basic features of successful grant-writing and become acquainted with likely sources of external funding to support your future research; * written a polished, journal-length paper based on original research and secondary reading -- one that is appropriate for submission to a journal of their choosing, OR a longer text that could serve as the foundation of one or more dissertation chapters.
