Students are expected to complete the readings listed on the [Schedule](#schedule) and participate in discussion.
13+
14+
Each student will initiate discussion of a course reading twice during the semester: once before spring break and again after spring break.
15+
This can be done in groups of two, if you wish.
16+
17+
At the end of the semester each student will give a presentation on their final project.

# Midterm project
17+
18+
There are several options:
19+
20+
1. A position paper on a disputed question in textual criticism, bibliography, or book history.
21+
Use one of the course readings as launching point.
22+
1. A scholarly transcription with an argued statement of policy.
23+
1. A review of a finding aid or bibliographic reference work in your research area.
24+
1. Something else. Clear your idea with me in advance.
25+
26+
This should be between about 750 and 1000 words.
27+
28+
# Research proposal
29+
30+
This is an ungraded step toward the final project.
31+
Sketch a research topic, question, and problem, as described in @BoothCraftResearch2024 [chaps 1 and 2].
32+
Identify relevant scholarship on your topic and explain your relation to it; and identify the principal forms of evidence required by your argument.
33+
(A good basic discussion of research evidence is @BoothCraftResearch2024 [sections 7.5, 12.5--6].)
34+
This should be about 500 words.
35+
36+
# Final project
37+

41+
1. A trial scholarly edition with an argued introduction and other relevant apparatus elements.
42+
1. A review essay on a recent scholarly edition in your research area.
43+
1. Something else. Clear your idea with me in advance.
44+
45+
This should be about 4000 words.
