Hrm. I got my proposal back Friday, and now I'm... revising it, but not in any substantive way? Basically he wants me to beef up the lit review, and rephrase a couple of things that were misunderstood.
I'm a little worried this means there really *is* a substantive problem, but he's not telling me what it is. This professor is known to be a crazy perfectionist, though.
I could probably use the practice as well, but...oh well. My introduction basically serves the same purpose at this point.
I kind of hate you. My introductions always suck -- I always have eight million concepts I need to define before I can get to my actual thesis statement.
I seriously have no memory of being lectured to about a text. Ever. It's been discussion since we started reading texts.
Huh. Kenyon was the first time I remember having a legitimate discussion of a text.
Well, there is that. Too bad I never took a Shutt class...
