Thesis project The thesis usually explores a topic that is related to a students academic major.

The topic selection itself should be a product of working one-on-one under the guidance of a faculty member selected by the student. Students should expect to meet with their thesis supervisor on a regular basis (at least once every two weeks, sometimes once a week, depending upon the stage of thesis development). The supervisor should take an active role in the process by offering ideas, helping the student refine and focus her or his interests into a feasible thesis project, working with the student to develop a realistic strategy and timetable, and providing resources, analysis, critique, and expertise to ensure the works successful completion. Before beginning the thesis, students are expected to complete a proposal that clearly specifies what you will accomplish during your thesis research. The thesis report identifies the problem; states the major assumptions; explains the significance of the undertaking; sets forth the sources for, and methods of gathering information; analyzes the data; and offers a conclusion or recommendation. Normally, an oral defense of the thesis is required.
