(working) Title of thesis Name Department of Physics, OSU Advisor: Max Planck
Context/goals • Be specific about YOUR project (e.g. you’re measuring the photocurrent in graphene, not solving the world’s energy crisis – even if your measurement is relevant to the energy crisis)
Research Principles (1-2) • Describe the physics (e.g. what is photocurrent? How does a dma work? How does reverse osmosis work? How do you design a good survey instrument? What are metal-poor stars?)
Progress (2-3) • What have you done so far?(e.g. built and instrument? Learned to use an existing one? Written or adapted code? Learned to use code? Designed a survey?) • Show a picture, describe how it works, • Do you have data? Preliminary or final? Bad data that is clearly wrong? It’s a report, not a test. There’s a lesson in bad stuff, too.
Outlook (1) • What’s next? • What is your timeline
General comments • Graphics are important in a thesis – a picture is very valuable. Make yours clear, informative. • Organize well – clarity, clarity, clarity • Fonts must be legible, colors sensible, don’t overdo it. • Presentation style should be calm and confident. Don’t apologize. Your professor has approved your project so be proud of it. You’re the expert on this topic.
