Thesis defense

Last week, I was a member of a panel that reviewed the thesis of graduate student. The experience was revealing but a little bit surreal. Nearly eight months before I was the one defending my thesis. The thesis was an interesting one since it studied the quality of the abstracts of theses done by the graduate and undergraduate students. The main findings of the study was that there was a need to revise the style manual of the Institute and expand the exposure of students, both graduate and undergraduate, to content analysis and composition. This event also re-highlighted the need to set limits to your study and follow the limits you set.
