Registering for Senior Seminar<\/h3>\n

Since Senior Seminar is the culminating experience for students, students will only be allowed in the course if it is their final spring semester of courses at the University of La Verne.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Students will not be allowed to register for the Senior Seminar course until a project proposal has been written and approved by their academic adviser.<\/li>\n
  • You should meet with your academic adviser by November 15 to discuss and present ideas for possible projects. It’s best to schedule an appointment and bring your ideas in writing.<\/li>\n
  • Project should demonstrate all skills learned by you in your major and be applicable to your emphasis\/concentration. They should also be developed for actual use by an organization or business in the community or the university. It can then be included in your portfolio when obtaining a job.<\/li>\n
  • All project ideas must be submitted in writing (one page summary\/project proposal describing the project) to your academic adviser.<\/li>\n
  • After the project proposal is approved you will be cleared to register for the class<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Senior Seminar: the Course<\/h3>\n

    Once you have an approved proposal, you are encouraged to begin working on your contract immediately. You will receive another memo before the semester starts detailing the expectations for your contract. The nature of your project will determine who your project adviser will be. Your project adviser will be determined at a later date.<\/p>\n

    Students need a completed, approved contract signed by their project adviser before beginning their projects.<\/p>\n

    The contracts must include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • the project’s final due date;<\/li>\n
    • due dates for the various components of the project;<\/li>\n
    • the scope of the project (what the project is), i.e., a newspaper insert, a script, a public relations campaign, a feature-length video or research paper;<\/li>\n
    • exactly what elements go into the project, number of pages or number of minutes;<\/li>\n
    • projected costs of the project;<\/li>\n
    • budget outline for the cost and how the project will be paid for;<\/li>\n
    • a timeline for production, including deadlines and specific due dates for various parts of the project;<\/li>\n
    • how this project relates to the student’s past work at the University of La Verne; and<\/li>\n
    • goals for after graduation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Senior Project<\/h3>\n

      The approved project must be in an area of emphasis or concentration reflective of your major.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • The following have been deemed acceptable projects: media analyses (30 pages minimum); videos; screenplays, radio specials or audio documentaries, Campus Times inserts; newsletters; public relations campaigns; public service campaigns; websites.<\/li>\n
      • Other projects are accepted and creativity is encouraged.<\/li>\n
      • The project must be of significant challenge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
