SOCIAL STUDIES 98: TUTORIAL FOR CREDIT – JUNIOR YEAR
The purpose of the junior tutorials in Social Studies is to immerse students in a detailed and focused study of empirical, theoretical, or historical social questions. Junior tutorials also teach social science methodology, providing students with instruction on research techniques and offering them experience in conducting primary research in preparation for their senior theses. At the beginning of the fall and spring term, juniors rank their preferences among the tutorials being offered, and every effort is made to accommodate students’ wishes. Students must take at least one junior tutorial. They may choose to take a second junior tutorial or they may substitute a “thematic” course for their second junior tutorial.
Each year one faculty member has primary responsibility for organizing and administering the junior tutorial program. In 2009-2010, Dr. Bernstein will coordinate Social Studies 98, and she will answer all questions and requests.
