Course Objectives:

The course will enable the students to:

• Design a full-fledged Dissertation by following the proposed chapter-plan, as outlined in the Synopsis
• Develop an interdisciplinary and comparative approach to literary research

• Construct a research aptitude for applying theoretical frameworks to their analysis and discussion

Course Outcomes -

The students will:

• Foster a complete understanding of the technical aspects of academic writing and documentation
• Develop critical thinking skills and work within a theoretical framework in literary research
• Organize and deliver an engaging research-based work carried out over a year

The student will be required to develop the Synopsis, presented and defended in the previous semester, into a Dissertation requiring two hours per week of self- study outside the class. With the incorporation of examiner-feedback and suggestions made earlier, the draft copy of the full Dissertation will be submitted for external evaluation by a panel comprising a Subject-Expert and two faculty members from the Department, one of whom will be the Supervisor, at the end of the Semester.
