Teaching Students to Select Topics for Undergraduate Dissertations in Geography.
Gatrell, Anthony C.
Journal of Geography in Higher Education, v15 n1 p15-23 1991
Emphasizes writing a dissertation in undergraduate geography study as a means of giving the student some control over subject matter. Offers criteria for selecting a topic including originality, topicality, feasibility, and likelihood of sustaining student interest. Warns that choices by academic supervisors may be made with regard to grant money rather than to interest. (DK)
