Final Paper |
Your final paper should be on some topic of your choice that is related to stratification. It can include data analysis (but does not have to) and should be typed, double-spaced, and 15-25 pages without the bibliography. Most importantly, it should be about something you find interesting enough to develop into a master's thesis, dissertation proposal, or publication.
As outlined below and on the course calendar, I will ask for periodic updates to make sure you are making adequate progress. All of the mini-assignments below should be typed and double-spaced.
One paragraph proposal

Two paragraphs and commitment to a topic for final paper
