[Academic] Fourth Year Project descriptors

[Kevin Peter O'Donnell]

Dear all

Thanks to your title contributions, we have comfortably reached the set target of proposing 90 UG research projects for the coming year. Now, I am requesting you to send me the project descriptors, with a deadline of 2 weeks from today, i.e.  Friday, 23d August. A blank project proposal form is attached to this email.

Ideally, the proposal should fit a single sheet of paper: it's main purpose is to stimulate students' interest so that they can discuss what the project involves in detail with the proposer. Each student will be required to provide a 'wish-list' of 3 projects in rank order. Then the fun begins; last year we were successful in allocating about 90% of students with their first or second choice projects.

For our new members of staff, please consider taking on an undergraduate assistant to help establish your research activity at Strathclyde. You may want to consider taking a second supervisor's role in one of the ongoing projects in your group or Division.

Any questions, please ask me or Tim and remember the deadline: 23 August (date of Steve Barnett's leaving do.)


Best Regards,


Kevin
