Thesis/Dissertation Workshops
The Thesis/Dissertation Workshop is presented twice, early in each
semester (normally January, June and September). Flyers will be posted
with the date, time, and location of the workshops. The workshops provide
some very general formatting guidelines for preparing the final documents
correctly and the steps for thesis/dissertation submittal. In cooperation
with the Office of Information Technology
(OIT), the workshops also touch on some techniques for better using
Word to prepare a thesis or dissertation and how to convert a file to
pdf.
The workshops are not meant to substitute for a consultation with the
Thesis/Dissertation Consultant. Students will still need to schedule
meetings with the consultant to go over specific formatting requirements
for the individual documents. The workshops can make the consulting
process go more smoothly, however, by giving students a head start on
formatting. Please also see our Thesis/Dissertation Resources
page for samples, guidelines and technical tips.
Next Workshops:
Thursday, Sept. 11, 5:15-6:45 p.m., and Friday, Sept. 12, 9:30-11 a.m., in Hodges Library Auditorium. Friday's workshop is a repeat of Thursday's session; there is no need to attend both. Registration is not required.
