Introduction |
|
|
The purpose of this course is to help you get through the thesis
research process by focusing on a key step: designing a research
proposal. As you know, this is the year where you write a thesis. Your thesis
proposal will be evaluated by your advisor and the departmental
committee for graduate studies (DCGS). mas940 is intended to help you organize your
ideas, manage the scope of your proposal, plan for the structure and
format of a thesis, and review your proposal with your classmates. It's
easy to hide within the walls of your research group. This course gives
you a chance to collaborate with others in the laboratory. |
