i was going to do this as a tutorial next semester. but i think credit wise with senior project it would be a lot of work. but if i make up a proposal to do it alongside my internship and get credit this summer, then i get the best of both world. and by doing the readings an responses over the summer, by the time the semester comes i will have a sound idea and base to start senior project.
