The objective of this course is to guide students to write a graduation thesis. Students spend two terms writing their theses. Beginning with vague ideas and intuitions they gradually concretize their object of research and gather the necessary data in whatever form is called for by their discipline. They then formulate a thesis that can be demonstrated according the canons of that discipline.
