This course is taken in the spring term of the senior year and comprises the second and final phase of the Senior Thesis in American Politics. Cadets enrolled in SS498A normally will complete SS489A Senior Research Seminar in American Politics in the fall semester of their senior year, where they will complete a prospectus, literature review, annotated bibliography, outlines, and initial draft of their senior thesis. In SS498A, students will continue work on an independent study basis with their thesis advisor and committee, conducting further research and updating drafts to produce a final written thesis product generally ranging from 30-50 pages in length. Students defend their thesis before a committee in the last two weeks of classes.
