Labour Studies (LBST) 411

Overview

LBST 411 offers advanced students an opportunity to pursue an extended research project under the direction of a professor. The course of study may involve field, survey, archival, or library research and normally results in the production of a major paper.

The first of these two special projects (see also LBST 412) helps students specify and clarify a research topic. Students will be expected to develop a comprehensive background knowledge in the topic of their choice.

With the course professor, students develop a study and/or research proposal indicating the goals of the study, procedure for evaluation, and the time to completion. A major discussion paper and comprehensive bibliography will be expected in partial fulfillment of the course requirements.
