Why's BSc thesis thread

Why · Post by **Why** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 10:36 am

Anyone care to help me pick a subject?

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/75781212/Topic ... de%204.pdf

Currently high on my list are Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and framing effects, Electrification of the car: will the momentum last? and Developing a new view on organizational change and innovation though I've only just received this list and have yet to delve into the specifics of the other subjects, so I'm still open to anything.

I like the design of a sustainable system for drug development

Choose based on the supervisor I reckon. Find one who's capable and will actually remember to attend meetings (mine didn't, because it turned out he was off shagging one of the students in my year the whole time. Hard to fathom given his resemblence to Doctor Who-era Tom Baker).

DR. JESUS ROSALES CARREON - oh yeah. This one.

I've actually stayed as far away from the pharmaceutical industry as I could during my studies so the drug development one is the only one I'm really not properly equipped for.

Cannot stress this enough.

Not that the specific subject is unimportant, but chosing without knowing anything about the supervisor is by far the riskier gamble.

Small update: Carbon Capture and Storage it is. Actually, I've expanded the original idea a bit, and then took a detour, and now I'm writing a proposal to research what causes the formation of local resistance groups against localized mining and storage projects by companies in the energy sector.

Hence my inactivity as of late.

I'm still alive. Barely.

Next week will be the decider, and depending on whether my final paper will be any good I might upload it here afterwards for all y'all to enjoy. It's about how local protest groups against underground mining or storage project siting decisions adapt their strategy to avoid the NIMBY stigma. And it's not really interesting, but at least I hope I'm getting the academia right.

So yeah, I'll be back after the 27th of this month.

It's cool that you're writing about something useful. My dissertation was about mendicant friars in the 13th century

Done.

More news soon.

Why are you so smart Why? I could never write about whatever it is you were writing about.

I'm pretty sure my undergrad thesis would put all of you to sleep and confuse you at the same time.

I think the question everyone is asking is: so what does cause the formation of local resistance groups against localised mining and storage projects by companies in the energy sector?

Whelp, got a 7.25/10 for it so I suppose it's at least halfway decent!

In case anyone wants to read it, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/757 ... THESIS.pdf - skip the summary, it's bad, start at the introduction.

I'll be reading up on TR-stuff now. Sorry I was gone so long. It's good to be back.

Gotta be honest, I prefer your TR lore. Congrats nonetheless!

Nice, though that paragraph under "Samenvatting" seems to be some sort of gibberish

Congratulations :>
