Senior Thesis Presentations, Class of 2018
The Senior Thesis is the capstone piece of a Covenant education. Seniors choose a topic that interests them and they research, write and edit a 20-page paper on that topic. Each student has a faculty advisor they meet with regularly as they develop their Thesis paper, and subsequently their oral presentation.
In early May each year the students present a 20-minute memorized summary of their Thesis, then answer questions posed by a panel, and by the audience at large. The students are graded on their work throughout the process, the final paper, their presentation, and their oral defense.
