General Project Information
The DAN 111 Final Project is a Research Project. It should focus on a dance related topic of personal interest. Your Final should demonstrate knowledge and understanding of your subject learned through research and from class materials. The topic question (thesis) is to be demonstrated through relevant concepts, questions, information, and practices. It should demonstrate learning in DAN 111.
In your Final Project you must show that you have investigated the topic (research), used information from your research (sources) including properly quoting and citing in your paper and a correctly constructed source list. You will show your key idea (thesis) and outline how you will prove that idea (statement of purpose), followed by a summary of your key argument or research question.
The DAN 111 Final includes 3 activities. Do not neglect any of these components.
- Research Writing Project is divided into various activities. Complete each part of the process by the Due Date.
- writing a proposal
- research and creating a properly formatted Source List
- writing a thesis and statement of purpose
- realizing them as a summary in either a written paper or a presentation.
This part of the Final carries the most points.
