Seminar #3 - Fall 2001

The cohort met in the Dean B. Ellis Library on the ASU-Jonesboro campus to gather literature on topics each member had chosen as a proposal topic.

Each member gathered information and began investigating what existed in the literature with regard to his/her specific topic.

During the second half of this seminar, cohort members met in the Center for the concluding seminar session.  It consisted of discussions of chapters four and five of the proposal as well as cohort discussions centering on the topics each student had chosen to be the topic for his/her proposal.
