ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences
All ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences undergraduate degree programs have an honours year, and all honours years taught within CASS require the completion of a 24 unit thesis. THES4100 is the honours thesis course for all CASS-taught disciplines not covered by THES4102, 4103, or 4105. Students in this course carry out advanced research on a question of their choice. Their topic is agreed with their thesis supervisor and approved by their honours convener. Students design and implement a project to answer their research question, to place the answer in the context of an intellectual tradition, and to communicate it clearly to others.
A thesis is the sole piece of assessment for this course; to successfully complete this course, it must demonstrate all learning outcomes for the course. (See the class summary for more details regarding thesis formats for practice-based research in art, music and design)
Learning outcomes 1, 2, 3
A total of 520 hours student learning time, including a minimum of 12 hours contact with the supervisor. It is the joint responsibility of the student and supervisor to arrange times for face-to-face contact. The supervisor is normally only available for email or face-to-face consultation during teaching weeks of each semester. Other Information Consent will only be given to enter this course if the student is: (1) enrolled in an Honours program or Specialisation in which the course is listed and (2) has the written agreement of an identified supervisor to supervise the thesis commencing in a specified semester. Students will be asked to provide evidence of the Supervisor agreement.
