SOCIAL STUDIES DIVISION MODERATIONS & SENIOR PROJECTS
MODERATION PROCESS
- Make sure your major is accurately recorded with the registrar. If you need to update your major, visit the registrar’s office and/or complete this form. You should do this as soon as possible.
- Submit your two short moderation papers—a critical evaluation of your work to date and your plans for the future—to the registrar by September 13th. You do not have to submit these papers to your moderation board at this time, nor do you have to submit your program-specific moderation assignment to the registrar. Visit the registrar's website for more information about the moderation papers.
- Complete a moderation board Google form by October 13th. This form will ask for your availability on the day of your moderation. To be clear: program directors will take your preferences into account when assigning faculty to moderation boards, but students do not get to choose who is on their board. You must complete this form by the deadline if you intend to moderate this semester.
- Check the website for your program to see the requirements for specific program moderation exercises and deadlines.

SENIOR PROJECT ADVISING
Senior project advising is assigned through a centralized process at the divisional level. To be assigned a senior project advisor, please complete this Google form by November 3rd, 2023 if you are planning on starting your senior project in the spring 2024 semester. The senior project advising form will ask you to briefly describe the topic you plan to work on for your senior project, and to list faculty members, both from your program and the division, you are interested in working with on your project. Students do not get to select their senior project advisor. Program directors will make senior project advising assignments and will take your preferences into account when possible. You must complete the Google form by the deadline to have your preferences taken into account.
