Sun, 06 Feb 2011 20:55:00 -0800 How to Organize Your Thesis http://stuffyoushouldread.posterous.com/faculty/chinneck/thesis.html http://stuffyoushouldread.posterous.com/faculty/chinneck/thesis.html

Prof. John W. Chinneck

Dept. of Systems and Computer Engineering
Carleton University

This note describes how to organize the written thesis which is the central element of your graduate degree. To know how to organize the thesis document, you first have to understand what graduate-level research is all about, so that is covered too. In other words, this note should be helpful when you are just getting started in your graduate program, as well as later when you start to write your thesis.

February 20, 2006 Chronicle of Higher Education

By David D. Perlmutter

The second source behind the dead-end dissertations, and the one I’ll focus on here, is advisers who, for whatever reason, decide to use a student’s dissertation as an extension of their own work — without regard to whether the text will build the student’s scholarly skills and career portfolio.
