 Is that from the perspective of the tossee? ot the tosser... Wow, you could
finagle a double thesis out of this.. remember, value is by the pound, not the
page.. Remember to adhere to the rules closely, bu not so much that there's no
room for solvent... Research your committee well, discern who their mentors
are, and then quote /them/ lavishly... never use words of lessthan one
syllable and make sure to devote a goodly portion of your paper to definitions
that are equally adstruse and obscure. /Always/ use "paradigm" at every
opportunity, and obfuscate,obfuscate, obfustace to the point of
incomprehensibility.  If the Committee {as they must} have individually
published, /ensure/ that copious bibliograpies are included for extra credit..

Have the thesis professionally typed and bound, do /not/ use crayon {excepting
a thesis on Education} Include not more than one typo for
"humblness's" sake.

Commit  the salient points of your thesis on three by five cards, or consider
a Power-Point presentation if allowed. Study well, be prepared yet rested, and
flush all data out of the memory banks after you have recieved your doctorate
as this "unique contribution to human knowledge" will never see
the light of
day again while retaining a copy for your library and as resource material for
your best-selling book... Happy Learing...
