ARC 498 – CAPSTONE EXPERIENCE (RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND BIBLIOGRAPHY)
The research skills course will usually be taken in the penultimate semester in preparation for writing a dissertation.
The course will develop skills in three areas: on-line and library research, focusing in particular on the research libraries available in Rome to undergraduate students; quantitative analysis, focusing on appropriate use and interpretation of quantitative techniques (rather than in carrying out the computation); qualitative analysis, focusing on appropriate integration of such data into research projects. The course will culminate in the students producing an abstract, methodology and bibliography of the research project they intend to pursue the following semester.
Pre-requisites: AUR Degree seeking students with Senior standing in Archeology and Classics.
