To those of you who are professors with graduate students:
I have recently added to my homepage some information on past and current
M.A. Theses and Ph.D. dissertations which I have supervised. In the case
of current dissertations, i.e., under construction, I am including the
formal proposals which students have prepared and defended before their
committees. I have done this for several reasons:
1. The information gives undergraduates or new graduate students some
sense of the kinds of research they might do in the future.
2. This information gives graduate students who are trying to figure out
what to write about and how to go about it some examples to stimulate
their thinking.
3. For students who want to work with me, the complete proposals show
them the kind of text they will need to prepare. (Most professors in
my department do NOT require such formal proposals.)
4. Because the proposals can be reached by web search engines, having
their proposals online may result in my students being contacted by
others with related interests --something which might prove of use to
them in their research.
So.... I am curious as to whether any of the rest of you have done
anything similar? If you have I would like to be able to provide links to
the relevant web sites to provide students here with further materials
for thought, comparisons and contrasts.
