From time to time I get requests to serve as a
mentor or to serve as an adviser on an undergraduate project or a
graduate thesis/dissertation committee. In order to give your request a
careful consideration, you must submit the following materials:
- A brief
description of the project or topic of thesis/dissertation.
- A brief
description of the academic
rationale for approaching me to be your mentor/adviser.
- Two
recent term papers in which you received 'A' grades. The term papers
must be from courses taken with different instructors.
- One
recommendation from a teacher who knows your work well attesting to, at
the minimum, three things: your ability to write; your knowledgeability; and your assiduousness.
- A copy
of your AAR (academic advisement report) available through your HUB page.
NOTE:
(a) With rare exception, I do not accept a request if your project is
already underway. (b) If any one of the above items does not accompany
your request then my advice is to
go elsewhere. |
