The senior integrative exercise in CAMS is a self-directed individual or group project. Students will produce a work of significant depth that builds on and synthesizes their coursework in the major. Project options include production of a scholarly paper, screenplay/teleplay, or short film. Alternatively, students may take a written long-form essay exam. Students completing one of the project options will present their work at the CAMS comps symposium in the spring term.
Unless otherwise direct by their advisor, students writing a research paper should enroll in six credits. Students selecting the exam option, writing a short film screenplay, or creating a production project that involves enrollment in CAMS 370/371 should enroll in three credits.
