Little is among the 50 undergraduates who decided to write a thesis this year. Seventeen students are pursuing the non-thesis honors option.
"I personally don't feel that this is the case, but I don't think it does much for this image for the department to allow students to graduate honors without writing a thesis," she says.
In the past a thesis was required for graduation with any honors degree, but students who wrote a 40 to 60 page thesis could still graduate cum laude, depending on their thesis and course grades and performance on the eight-hour senior general examination at the end of senior year...
Writing a thesis is an involved process in any department. The English thesis is due a week before spring vacation and is capped at 40 to 60 pages, which makes it one of the shortest at the College.
Instead, seniors who choose to write a thesis will take English 99hf, one full-year half-course. They will receive one half course of credit.
