In order to better serve students and make sure they’re complying with both major and Honors requirements, I’m sending out this survey (below) in order to inquire about your thesis processes. I’d like to know whether you have a capstone/thesis requirement other than the standard 498H, whether you require department-level thesis approval, how students register for thesis credit, etc. If you could respond to me at <a href="mailto:rmitch@email.arizona.edu">rmitch@email.arizona.edu</a> with your answers to the following questions, I’d be very appreciative. I’ll be compiling this info for my use in Honors, but am also happy to share it with any of you who are interested in knowing how other departments manage the Honors thesis.
