Communication 499C - Honors Thesis Seminar

This is the first course in a two-semester, eight-credit Communication Honors Capstone sequence on Media and the Family. In the first semester (Comm 499C), we will examine a broad range of theories and methods that have been used to study various aspects of the relationship between media and the family, and each student will develop a proposal to conduct an original research project on some relevant topic. The second semester (Comm 499D) will be devoted to the implementation of your individual research projects, and will culminate in an archivable Honors Thesis and public presentation at a research conference. Comm 499C satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Comm majors.

Open to Senior Honors students and Communication Senior Honors students. Instructor Consent Required. Professor Morgan can be contacted by email at mmorgan@comm.umass.edu. Course Topic: Media and the Family.
