Senior Thesis Topic Selection

Senior Thesis topics may be experimental or may be based on a study of the published literature on your chosen subject. The topic must be relevant to your major and there must be a significant body of published literature on the topic. Some recommendations:  look at senior theses which were completed by past students; do some general background reading about your topic; look at the chapters in your textbooks.

  3. Create folders within the database
  4. Save results to your folder
  5. Save the search string
  6. Create a search alert
