ChE 400 : Thesis
What? and How?
What?
“A taste of research in a limited form”or “A training on how to conduct
research”or“A privilege and an opportunity to
carry out a research under the guidance of a competent supervisor”
How?
“With an aim to balance between students’ needs and supervisors’ interests”
Thesis groups : 30 Supervisors: 15 Student distribution:
Options Lottery Options and lottery
Grades?
Six credit hours-two terms Depends mostly on students’
sincerity carefulness ability to articulate
Marks distribution continuous assessment by the supervisor written report viva
