For Fall 2022, there will be 4 sections of HCol 3102H. This course meets every other week. Section 1 meets on Thursdays from 1:25-3:20pm; section 2 meets on Thursdays from 1:25-3:20pm;; section 3 meets on Fridays from 11:15am-1:10pm; section 4 meets on Tuesdays from 4:00-5:55pm.
This course provides a classroom-support format to assist Honors students with developing a firm foundation for research in advance of their final year of study. Most thesis writing will be done under the direction of the thesis advisor and committee, hence assignments in HCol 3102H are structured to prompt students toward engaging best practices—generically, and in their specific field of study—in preparing to complete thesis work. The course’s ultimate objective is to provide context, structure, third-party scholarly guidance, and a supportive community of peers to promote excellence and expediency in fulfilling the final requirement for graduation with Latin Honors.

Juliette Cherbuliez is a Professor in the Department of French and Italian, and Director of the Center for Premodern Studies. Her research broadly concerns the politics, culture and ideas of pre-Revolutionary France (1630-1750).
