Independent Research Project and Film Paper Conferences, VM G57

        Before your conference, talk to at least one faculty member in the discipline you want to work in, and ask them for advice about subjects or researchers whose work would be accessible to you at this point in your career, and the journals that would cover recent work on those subjects.  Look up the journals in the print and electronic periodical listings of the library, and test your ability to read articles they publish.  The conference will help us test topics and disciplines, and I can help you focus on a topic that will be practical to investigate in two weeks.  Remember that your paper will describe the work that recent publications have presented, and your thesis will be about the trends or opportunities you see ahead.  In class on Thursday, we will discuss how data or evidence, and reasoning, from multiple sources, can be recombined to suggest new possible conclusions.  If you have time, take a look at this web page to assist your thinking for the project.
