Description
Capstone Experience Course
Students in this course pursue independent research and produce a research project, normally a research essay, under the supervision of a teacher in Korean Studies. This course is designed to provide students with the opportunity to explore in-depth a topic of interest to them in relation to Korean society and culture. Students are required to obtain their supervisor’s approval for the topic. Individual meetings with the supervisor will be scheduled in the first week of the semester, and contact hours are minimal because students spend much of their time on individual projects. Students will be encouraged to engage with original texts written in Korean, although the class will be conducted in English and assignments should be written in English.
