- Register for the appropriate course for the thesis or project at the beginning of the month semester or quarter agreeable to you, your Advisor, and your committee.
- Work closely with your committee chairman in developing your thesis or project topic. Confer with your committee chair and faculty regarding preliminary approval of the thesis or project format prior to the preparation of the final draft.
- Accurately complete the Thesis/ Project Submission Form. The form must be typed and signed. Your name and title of thesis/project on the Thesis/Project Submission Form must match the name and title on the thesis/project.
- All signatures should be in black ink. Secure the signatures of:
- your committee on the approval page (original and one copy).
- your committee chair on the abstract (original and one copy).
- your Graduate Director or Department Chair on the format approval page (original and one copy).
- A faculty member from another school (within your college or university) or other appropriate individuals may serve as a third member on thesis committees or a second member on project committees. In order to do so, the Chair will need to approve the individual for your committee
- Pay the binding fee (college bookbindery or suitable establishment) prior to the deadline for filing theses and projects. The binding receipt form must accompany the Thesis / Project Submission form and your project or thesis.
- Submit your thesis or project to your research committee chair together with the binding receipt form and the completed Thesis/Submission Form.
Evaluating the Project The project should be evaluated at two levels. The first of these levels is the text and the logic of the presentation. The second level of evaluation should focus on the student’s mastery of the material. There are certain minimum requirements that the project or thesis must meet before it should be considered for acceptance. These minimal requirements deal with the manner of presentation of the project problem, its parameters, and analysis. To facilitate the examination of a project, I’ve provided a comprehensive checklist and inventory of the minimal requirements. For example: Is the topic area of the study clearly specified early in the text (within the first two pages)? Is the topic area of the project derived from or cast into its historical perspective? Are the major independent and dependent variables logically derived and their importance clearly evident? Is the specific problem that the study addresses clearly stated early in the text
