Students (past, present, future?)
Past MS students Christine Irwin and Aron Taylor at GSA meeting in Salt Lake City.
Expectations
When I work with students on thesis projects, I try to make sure that we are on the same page in terms of expectations - both in terms of what you can expect from me, and what I expect from you. My goal is to help you turn your thesis work, undergraduate or graduate, into a positive goal-oriented experience. I've put together some expectations for both undergraduate and graduate students. |
| Future Students?
Check out the sorts of research I do at my Research page. If you are a student interested in this type of exciting research, please email me at parmstrong@fullerton.edu or call me at (657) 278-3169. |
