Sophomores Complete Seminar Projects

Tandem sophomores completed the final stage of their Sophomore Seminar academic rite of passage with a Sophomore Seminar Capstone event. The community was invited to come and hear about their research, and each sophomore set up an information station complete with display, then answered questions from anyone in attendance who stopped by to chat. 

Sophomores presented their research projects to their classmates during classes in the late spring weeks. Students spent second semester researching and writing a 15+ page academic paper on a subject of their choosing. After completing their papers, which include detailed footnotes and bibliographies, each presented in person to their classmates; topics/papers are argumentative, so students had to make some sort of defensible argument about their topic. They provided some really interesting insights into their topics and displayed their academic maturity over the course of the semester. Well done, sophomores! Check out a list of their impressive and interesting topics below.
