There are many ways to tell a story, many strategies for finding focus and drawing meaning from one's work. The goal of this course will be to guide students in determining how to tell the story of their thesis work: what texts, artifacts, images, and other materials can best convey their growth and discoveries. Students will strive to find a cohesive union of what to say and how to say it. The course represents the culmination of the program and will communicate the knowledge, strategies, and practices students have engaged with during the program. The ultimate product of this course is a published book that defines the student's thesis area and presents their research, thinking, and project work.
