So, what are the goals and objectives of this course?

Goals/Objectives:

  • Take some of the mystery out of the M.S. and especially Ph.D. process - when people understand the process, they're more comfortable being part of it.
  • Give practical advice about how to succeed
  • Develop basic skills - literature search, problem definition, research methodologies, written and oral presentation, formulating a research proposal

I took this course because I wanted to get started with my thesis. What will be the best way of getting started ? I mean this is still early to choose a specific topic in a particular field. So how should I utilize this class for such specific selection? My aim is that by end of this course, I should have all the hurdles in my thesis work away.
