Important

• Should we be sending an abstract to DHCS2015

Notes

• Thesis
  • Annunciate a question of what your workplan will address.
  • Will the measures we define have efficient…?
  • What I do will provide me this type of answer (to a larger question)
  • Need questions that have multiple possible answers
  • What are the most important contributions of the dissertation? They will come out of answering the thesis question(s).
  • Don’t mention datasets and types in the thesis statement
  • 2-3 sentences tops (maybe 5-6 lines on a page)
  • Make the thesis as crystalline as possible:
    • Succinct (and dense)
    • Has a good ring to it (to me)
      • Interesting
      • Feasible
  • Address dynamics in the proposal. It’s not crucial in the thesis statement, but it should be in the proposal.
