lol my thesis
Today's site offers an irresistible collection of submissions from university
students across the globe. Gentle Subscribers will find the most amusing ones
to be those which conscientiously follow the script -- a brief line about the
thesis real subject, followed by its official title.
"Summing up years of work in one sentence. ... started in December 2013 by
Angie, a senior at Harvard College studying Human Developmental and
Regenerative Biology." - from the website
With its wonderfully breathtaking range of disciplines, the site proves that
the quest for academic digging into arcane subjects never falters. Each entry
includes the academic institution, the thesis subject matter, and generally,
its actual title. Among the most recent additions:
Title: An Expectancy Violations Theory and Social Identity Approach to
Understanding Normative Deviance Online -- Do students think that some users on
YikYak are weird, horrible people? Well, probably ... Communication, UC, Santa
Barbara; or
Title: "Unnatural Acts": Natural Law and Moral Crisis in Shakespeare's Tragic
World ... Murder sounds like a great idea when you explain it in iambic
pentameter ... Shakespeare Studies, King’s College, London; and
