ITAL 2903 - MA FINAL PROJECT DIRECTED STUDY


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course involves developing and planning a faculty-guided MA Final Project selected by the student in consultation with the Italian faculty, and in alignment with the student’s future plans beyond completion of the MA in Italian. Students may select from (but are not limited to) the following Final Project options: Presentation on previously executed teaching demo (cluster or module consisting of multiple lessons, planned in consultation with appropriate faculty); Syllabus development; Podcast; Digital Humanities project; Annotated translation; Conference paper (with reflections on expansion); Article of professional article quality and length (30 pp min.). In developing their projects, students must conduct research beyond the scope of any single graduate course, and are encouraged to develop and formulate their topic across the variety of courses and experiences that have made up their MA experience. Students will work closely with the faculty member whose field is most relevant to the chosen topic to identify appropriate areas for expansion, additional texts or case studies, and relevant methodologies and/or pedagogical approaches.
