|
|
|
+Thank you so much for agreeing to read my thesis and give me feedback on
|
|
|
+ it.
|
|
|
+ What you are currently reading is a rough draft, in need of many revisions.
|
|
|
+ You can always find the latest version at

|
|
|
+ the PDF at this link is updated periodically with my latest revisions,
|
|
|
+ but you can just download the current version and give me feedback on that.
|
|
|
+ Don't worry about keeping up with the updates.

|
|
|
+As for what feedback I'm looking for, first of all, don't waste your time
|
|
|
+ marking spelling mistakes and such.
|
|
|
+ I haven't run a spell checker on it yet, so let me worry about that.
|
|
|
+ However, if you see any glaring formatting issues, such as a figure being
|
|
|
+ too large and getting cut off at the edge of the page, please note them.
|
|
|
+ In addition, if any of the text in the figures is too small, please note
|
|
|
+ that as well.

+\begin_layout Standard
|
|
|
+Beyond that, what I'm mainly interested in is feedback on the content.
|
|
|
+ For example: does the introduction flow logically, and does it provide
|
|
|
+ enough background to understand the other chapters? Does each chapter make
|
|
|
+ it clear what work and analyses I have done? Do the figures clearly communicate
|
|
|
+ the results I'm trying to show? Do you feel that the claims in the results
|
|
|
+ and discussion sections are well-supported? Additionally, while I am well
|
|
|
+ aware that Chapter 1 (the introduction) contains many un-cited claims,
|
|
|
+ all the other chapters (2,3, and 4)
|
|
|
+\emph on
|
|
|
+should
|
|
|
+\emph default
|
|
|
+ be fully cited.
|
|
|
+ So if you notice any un-cited claims in those chapters, please flag them
|
|
|
+ for my attention.

|
|
|
+You can provide your feedback in whatever way is most convenient to you.
|
|
|
+ You could mark up this PDF with highlights and notes, then send it back
|
|
|
+ to me.
|
|
|
+ Or you could collect your comments in a separate text file and send that
|
|
|
+ to me, or whatever else you like.
|
|
|
+ However, if you send me your feedback in a separate document, please note
|
|
|
+ a section/figure/table number for each comment, and
|
|
|
+\emph on
|
|
|
+also
|
|
|
+\emph default
|
|
|
+ send me the exact PDF that you read so I can reference it while reading
|
|
|
+ your comments, since as mentioned above, the current version I'm working
|
|
|
+ on will have changed by that point (which might include shuffling sections
|
|
|
+ and figures around, changing their numbers).
|
|
|
+ One last thing: you'll see a bunch of text in orange boxes throughout the
|
|
|
+ PDF.
|
|
|
+ These are notes to myself about things that need to be fixed later, so
|
|
|
+ if you see a problem noted in an orange box, that means I'm already aware
|
|
|
+ of it, and there's no need to comment on it.

|
+My thesis is due October 10th, so in order to be useful to me, I'll need
|
|
|
+ your feedback at least a few days before that, ideally by October 7th.
|
|
|
+ If you have limited time and are unable to get through the whole thesis,
|
|
|
+ please focus your effors on Chapters 1 and 2, since those are the roughest
|
|
|
+ and most in need of revision.
|
|
|
+ Chapter 3 is fairly short and straightforward, and Chapter 4 is an adaptation
|
|
|
+ of a paper that's already been through a few rounds of revision, so they
|
|
|
+ should be a lot tighter.
|
|
|
+ If you can't spare any time between now and then, or if something unexpected
|
|
|
+ comes up, I understand.
|
|
|
+ Just let me know.
