Workshop 7: “Which Came First—the Answer or the Question?” will address the most important, and least discussed, aspect of the thesis: the research question that is so enthralling that the graduate student has no problem living with it for at least the next year of her life.  A graduate student cannot be a good thinker and a poor questioner.

Workshop 6: “My Only Problem Is That I Don’t Have a Problem at All” will teach the student how to find the problem, the issue—the conflict—in his or her thesis.

Writing.

Workshop 5: “I Have this Great Idea” will discuss the critical point of coming up with the idea to turn into a thesis. We will talk about where researchable ideas come from, and how to turn the potential idea into a thesis.  We will spend a lot of time exploring theses and projects on the Chico Digital Repository.  We will also discuss how to write a research proposal.
