Students (past, present, future?)

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.
