Topic: Tips for Selecting Your Thesis Topic / The Research Proposal:

A Perfect Thesis Draft!

Is your thesis topic too broad or too narrow? How can you tell? What if there’s no published research on the topic you’ve chosen? Is that a good or bad thing? We’ll explore these dilemmas. Bring your topic ideas and brainstorm with your peers in a small group setting.

Discover how your research proposal can be crafted as a framework for your thesis. This workshop builds on Tips for Selecting Your Thesis topic and will help you in organizing and writing a research proposal that can lead to a viable thesis project. Bring your draft or outline and work with peers to make progress on your proposal.

Coffee, tea, chat, collaborating, and networking with fellow Cal Lutheran students

Please RSVP for the workshops or just drop in on the topics interesting to you!
