It will involve finding a thesis mentor/advisor, outlining the project, and starting the thesis. Meeting time: Thursdays, 4:00-5:00. Contact him at James E Partridge/Plant/IANR/UNEBR@University of Nebraska for more information. -- Two sections of UHON 395H offered in the Spring semester of 2004 have a good deal of room in them: Contemporary American Drama, MW 1:30-2:45, and English: Writing Style, TR 4:30-5:45. Either, though particularly the latter, is appropriate for sophomores and even second semester first year students. Consider either of those to fulfill Honors credits for this academic year. If you do take UHON 395H as a sophomore, you will have fulfilled that requirement; however, remember that you'll still need to take at least 3 hours of Honors credit in your junior year. UHON 395H, Introduction to Coastal Marine Studies, still has room. The deadline to commit to the course, which is offered in June, is December 15. Offered on the coast of Maine, the class is a field research experience set in one of the most beautiful areas of the U.S. Prior biology experience is not necessary. Contact Dr. Lyons, klyons2@unl.edu, for more information. -- Travel safely over the Thanksgiving holiday, don't eat too much turkey, and we'll see you for the final portion of the semester on December 1!
