Organizing a Thesis
The technicalities are simple. You sign up for Jour 389 College Scholar Project, 390 Honors Thesis, or Jour 391 Special Topics. You sign up for 4 credits -- either 4 in fall or spring; or 2 in fall and 2 in spring. 

Whatever you choose, give yourself enough time each semester to work on your research. It really is a worthwhile endeavor. You’ll remember it long after your papers for other courses fade from memory. And you can put it on your resume as a sign of your good work.
