Honours Thesis A

The honours thesis involves conducting research on a specific, well-defined topic, under the supervision of a member of the teaching staff. A thesis demonstrates in-depth knowledge and understanding of a topic, as well as critical thinking and analytic skill. It involves reviewing the literature in a particular area of interest; identifying gaps or inconsistencies; and developing a specific hypothesis, argument, or model. This credit thus involves substantial self-directed work, the equivalent of 4-6 hours per week, including meetings with the supervisor.
