Literary
Senior Seminar Projects with a literary focus (poetry book, comic book, novel, novella, collection of short stories, translations of fictional works, etc.) must consider the following guidelines.
Requirements:
The final product needs to be professionally bound in a manner that is appropriate to the work
Student will need to take into consideration production costs for binding and printing
Throughout the writing process the student will need to present multiple drafts. The frequency of drafts will be determined by the primary advisor and the student
Longer fictional works require a detailed outline to present to the primary advisor and the on-site advisor
While it is difficult to set a page number requirement on fictional works, the student will need to produce a work(s) that is acceptable in length (as determined by the primary and on-site advisors, the length needs to be representative of 80 hours of project work)
If the work is intended for publication, attention needs to be given to page layout, design and cover art.
If secondary sources are used, the student must cite them according to MLA documentation requirements.
All projects require a project related research component. The research component should further enhance the knowledge on the project and/or topic, and, in turn, enable the student to complete his/her project more successfully. It is necessary to choose research that fits the specific project.
The Senior Team recommends students electing a Literary project document a minimum of 10 hours of direct instruction/conferencing with their on-site advisor
All direct instruction hours completed must be documented on the Verification Form and signed by your on-site advisor
