A major research paper of at least 6,000 words in length (excluding footnotes and references) is required. An alternative form of evaluation can be negotiated between the student and instructor; however, any variation must be approved by the REH2000H Course Coordinator. The timeline for the course must coincide with the regular class schedule start dates. Each term is 13 weeks in length. An individual reading and research course may be undertaken over one or two terms (depending on the frequency of meetings). All coursework must be submitted in ample time for the instructor to grade the material and submit the final course grade in conjunction with the standard course deadlines. Any extension of time given to the student to complete coursework beyond the end date of the course must be approved by both the instructor and REH2000H Course Coordinator.
