The thesis team in the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies reviews students\u2019 theses and dissertations to ensure that certain formatting requirements are met and that they are professionally presented. There is detailed information on our website about the requirements, and several resources to assist students in preparing an appropriately-formatted thesis. However, we still receive many theses with very basic proofreading and formatting mistakes. As an example, a common one is \u201cError! Bookmark not defined\u201d appearing in the table of contents. If students can recognize simple mistakes before submitting, it will mean a quicker acceptance of their thesis and they will be less stressed by deadlines.<\/p>\n
In order to ensure that students take advantage of the resources provided to help them identify mistakes in their theses, we will henceforth be requiring students to check their theses against the Sample Thesis on our website at Resources for Thesis Preparation and Checking<\/a> before submitting them to cIRcle or for pre-review. Students will no longer receive detailed feedback on errors that can be identified by comparing their theses to the Sample Thesis.<\/p>\n Please share this information with your thesis students, and don\u2019t hesitate to contact me if you have questions.<\/p>\n Kind regards,<\/p>\n Max Read<\/strong> The thesis team in the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies reviews students\u2019 theses and dissertations to ensure that certain formatting requirements are met and that they are professionally presented.
