PhD Thesis Proposal

Requirements:

Timeline

  • 2023-12-21 is the last date of final exam period, which I assume is the last day of the semester as well.
  • I need to prepare a proposal document by 2023-11-23 (Thursday), but earlier would be better because professors might be busy during the final exam period.
  • But note that proposal can happen during winter breaks (as long as it is before spring.) So I might be able to do it slightly later.

Page-limits

between ten and thirty pages https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LPU3hLNt7KXeltxJGy2bpVJl7Q5nTd_-EuPoKdPvbfE/edit
