perdida writes "You may be aware that students have to complete a senior project. This project is of varying intensity and length, depending on the department and the professor. In my department, Social and Global Studies, several students have been blocked by the head of the department due to problems with the senior project.



That's fine. but this individual did not inform the students involved that their work was inadequate until it was FAR too late to do something about it. One student went to APRC but was blocked, again, by this department head. She's fucked.



What should be done about this? I am for some consistency in standards across departments, and more freedom in the thesis, too. you should have the right to do activism, journalism, etc. other than a research project."
