In the second semester of the second year, Thesis class meets once. In individual meetings, I supervise the completion of your written thesis, a draft of which was due by the end of the first semester in December. At this point, you are completing the bibliography, citations, illustrations and signature page requirements.
Important dates for this spring:
Thursday, March 6th: turn in COMPLETE PDF including text, illustrations with captions, bibliography and signature page. This should be the pdf that you are using to print the thesis.
Thursday, March 13th, midnight: the deadline for submission of your thesis for the thesis prise, to be awarded at the Thesis Reading on Thursday, April 17th. This is basically the same pdf that you submitted the week before, anonymized. In other words, you must remove your name from the tile page and captions, and from the signature page. And anywhere else it might appear.
Thursday, April 3rd: two printed, bound copies of the thesis due. Point of collection still TBD. Please refer to the description in Thesis Handbook for requirements. Basically, though, it must be bound in some way that it can be shelved in the library. Not just stapled paper, Not loose sheets. If you need to see what prior year's thesises have looked like, there is a cabinet full of them on the fourth floor. Something simple, like a plastic folder with a binder clip or a folio, are fully acceptable.
Note: You MUST submit your thesis in a timely way in order to be able to walk in graduation.
Thursday, April 17th: Thesis reading, location still TBD, 7 PM. All grad students (both years, and Duals) are invited. Refreshments! All second year students are invited to read a brief (three minutes or less) section from their thesis, whether or not they submitted their work for the prize.
