Basic Research Project

I shall give you a list of three articles in learned journals, available in the UVM library, on one topic. You must first go to the Periodicals Room on the second floor of the library and locate the articles.

Once you find the three articles, read them and write a short critical analysis of each one. If you have ever done an annotated bibliography before, that is what you ought to do; rational criticism of each author's thesis and methods will make your analysis useful (and get a better grade).

Sample Project

Late projects lose ten percentage points each weekday. It is not only acceptable, but a good idea, to complete the project before the due date.

In order to avoid being late, you may send the project as an e-mail attachment, but only provisionally: you must turn in an actual hard copy of the project to have it read. There is one very important rule if you use e-mail: do not think, just because you have hit 'Send', that I shall receive the e-mail, or that it will come with the attachment(s). You can only be sure that I have received it if I send a return e-mail saying so. If there is no return e-mail, assume that the project did not arrive.
