These instructions cover how to submit the files that make up your senior dossier. A copy of this information is also on the Sakai website.
Deadlines
- If you are graduating in the Fall, you must complete your senior dossier by December 20 of your senior year as a requirement for graduating with a Classical Studies major.
- If you are graduating in the Spring, you must complete your senior dossier by May 1 of your senior as a requirement for graduating with a Classical Studies major.
Naming Conventions For Your Files
Please be sure to include your full name in each document that you submit. Create your document with EXACTLY the following filenames (substituting your last and first name for the italicized placeholders):
- LASTNAMEFIRSTNAME_SightTranslation
- LASTNAMEFIRSTNAME_ShortEssay
- LASTNAMEFIRSTNAME_PersonalReflection
- LASTNAMEFIRSTNAME_ClassicalKnowledgeQuiz
- LASTNAMEFIRSTNAME_CapstoneResearchPaper
- LASTNAMEFIRSTNAME_OtherResearchPaper
- LASTNAMEFIRSTNAME_OutsideExperienceReport
- LASTNAMEFIRSTNAME_SeniorThesis
- LASTNAMEFIRSTNAME_IndependentResearchPap
These labeling and identifying protocols helps handle the dossier files more easily. If you clearly label each file with the file identifiers above (SightTranslation, ShortEssay, etc.) AND put your full name in each filename AND in each document, we can easily review your documents, notwithstanding the congeries of similar documents. Both who created each file, and how you classified it, should be clear. (It is not always easy to distinguish a “short essay” entry from an “outside experience report” or “other research paper” purely on the basis of content).
Where to Submit Your Files
You will submit your files through Sakai. When you have assembled your complete dossier, put them in the “CLST Sr Majors Port” Dropbox folder and appropriate subfolders created for you on Sakai (each subfolder bears the name of a category—e.g., “Outside Experience”).
