Thesis or starred paper Committee

The Thesis or Starred Paper Committee
Thesis or Starred Paper Committee Meetings
TESL MA Thesis and Starred Papers through Fall 2006 (Excel .xls format)

For thesis and starred paper options, the student needs to select three faculty members to join their thesis or starred paper committees.  The student is responsible for asking the three faculty members if they would be willing to serve on this committee.

The chair and second reader are normally faculty members of the English Department.  Both the chair and second reader should be faculty members with whom the student has taken classes.  The chair most likely would be someone who has a scholarly interest in the topic of the student’s research.

For a starred papers option, the chair and second reader might be professors from the courses within which the original papers were written.  The third reader would be from outside the English Department.  If a student has taken one or both of the ED 601 courses, the professor from one of these courses could be the third reader.  Otherwise, the committee chair might recommend a third reader to the online student who would not be very familiar with other faculty members at SCSU.
