Honors Thesis Colloquium 2009-10

Millicent, please read the 2 posts I have written to the group: the one to Larry and class on method and the one how to propose your main focus (posted Oct. 1).   In terms of your proposal, I think you should ask the question initially about whether China’s current policies will be adequate to the task at hand. That is the key question that spurs your research and your working hypothesis is that it is not adequate.  You have stated supporting reasons for your hypothesis, so I agree with your self-assessment that the project is warranted.  As you point out, you need to acknowledge some opposing views in order to gain credibility for yourself.  Finally, your discussion of research methods should be more precise in terms of your field.
