He doesn't show up in our group project(circuit testing, documentation, software etc.). My batch mates think he's the smart kid. He only relies on Test scores, but when it comes to projects (not only thesis) he doesn't show up/ work at all. He even gives us the worst excuse we've ever heard...

I'm looking for this thesis, "B. Dopfer, Zwei Experimente zur Interferenz von Zwei-Photonen Zuständen Ein Heisenbergmikroskop und Pendellösung (Ph.D. Thesis, U. Innsbrück 1998)". It use to be posted here http://www.quantum.univie.ac.at/publications/thesis but that link is not working. I...

I'm an undegrad. At my school one can choose to do either 2 semesters of an upper division physics lab class or 1 semester and a capstone thesis project. With intentions of being a theorist (and because the upper div lab was in total disrepair) I opted to do a capstone thesis. I'll admit...

I have three questions: 1. Suppose your supervisor has given you freedom to choose topic of research (for PhD). How do you decide what topic to work on? 2. Can one work on two somewhat disconnected topics and write about both in same thesis? 3. When do you feel that you have done enough...

I'm in Canada, where (usually) a master's degree, with a thesis, is required before being admitted in a PhD program. Now, I am told that a master's thesis does not need to be... substantial. However, you could say I'm ambitious (or stupid) and I want to get some original results. I'm in comp...

For those interested in cognitive science, the supervenience thesis seems to be one of those fundamental axioms which goes unsaid. If it needs to be said however, I think Tim Maudlin1 summed it up best: Seems that all other philosophers have the same views of supervenience, and in fact, the...
