spring junior tutorials

by Thomas A. Lewis

Dear Concentrators, For those of you who are juniors (or for any other reason will be taking a junior tutorial this spring), it's time to start setting up tutorials. So that I can get started, could you email me a short (one-paragraph) description of your ideas for next semester's tutorial? Please email me your paragraph by Wednesday, December 15th. As you think about the tutorial, remember that the spring tutorial (Rel 98b) should focus on a topic in your major tradition (or one of the two, if you are focusing on two traditions). Most of you will be writing your junior paper in the tutorial. Ideally, it will be a topic that could lead into your senior thesis, though it will impossible to know for sure at the point. If you are a junior but are not planning to take a junior tutorial next semester, please let me know as soon as possible. Those of you in religion and an allied field typically take one junior tutorial in religion and one in the allied field. Those in a joint concentration with religion as secondary are not required to take a junior tutorial. However, joint concentrators are welcome to take a junior tutorial (or a second one in the case of religion and an allied field) if you would like. Let me know if you have any questions. As most of you know, once I have your paragraphs, I will begin matching you with graduate students interested in leading tutorials in your area. The process may take some time, so you may not hear back until late January. I hope the semester is going well. I'll see you at the holiday party on the 14th. With best wishes, Thomas Lewis Thomas A.
