HIST 4280

Students hone advanced skills in historical writing, critical research, and relevant theoretical approaches. Students synthesize program and institutional learning outcomes by developing, in conjunction with the course instructor, a capstone research project. In completing their research projects, students demonstrate, assess, and explain how their capstone project meets program learning outcomes and each of TRU's four general education themes of Connection, Engagement, Exploration, and Local-to-Global. Students engage in such practices as peer review, developing a proposal, and researching, writing, and presenting about a pertinent historical topic. Additionally, students will provide mentorship to junior undergraduate students in select lower-level history courses, reflecting on their experiences as both educators and knowledge mobilizers.
