- MA Thesis: An E-Mail From Prof. Janssens. "Dear MA-students: we would like to discuss the proposals for the MA thesis with you. We are going to do this with the whole group. The idea is that not only the professors will make suggestions on how to do research and how to write, but that it is also very helpful to get suggestions from your fellow students.
"On top of that, it will help all students to think in terms of setting up research and writing reports, an activity you will no doubt be doing a lot in your life after the UvA. We will talk for 20 minutes about each research proposal. Each student will present her/his topic in five minutes, and then we will discuss topic and approach.
"In the opening statement of five minutes you need to tell us what the topic is, why it is interesting, and what kind of research material you are going to use for your writing. The meetings are on Friday morning, from 10 to 12 hours. There are no other classes for the MA group scheduled at that time.
"Best wishes,
Ruud Janssens.
Prof. dr. R.V.A. Janssens. Amerikanistiek, Afdeling Geschiedenis, Archeologie en Regiostudies, Universiteit van Amsterdam."
