Title: Iowa Sample Letter for Disapproval of a Senior Graduate Thesis Dear [Student's Name], I hope this letter finds you well.

After careful consideration and evaluation, it is with regret that I inform you that your thesis has been disapproved by the department. Our department values the scholarly pursuits of our students and recognizes the time and effort you have dedicated to this project. However, it is important to address the reasons for the disapproval in order to promote growth, improve your understanding, and guide you towards future success. Firstly, the core of a senior graduate thesis lies in its originality and contribution to the existing body of knowledge. Upon thorough review, it was observed that your thesis did not adequately address the research gap or present unique insights. Academic excellence relies on the ability to add original contributions to the field, and regrettably, your work did not meet this criterion. Secondly, a well-structured thesis requires rigorous methodology and analysis. However, your thesis demonstrated shortcomings in both areas. The research methodology lacked clarity, and the data collection methods did not align coherently with the research objectives. Consequently, these deficiencies weakened the credibility and reliability of your findings. Furthermore, effective communication is a vital skill for any researcher. Your thesis displayed issues with organization, coherence, and clarity of expression. A clear and concise presentation of ideas is crucial for conveying your research effectively. Attention to detail, proper citation, and adherence to formatting guidelines are also essential aspects that were substandard in your work. As a department, we encourage our students to seek guidance from their faculty advisors throughout the thesis development process. It appears that there was a lack of close collaboration with your advisor, which could have helped address some of these concerns and guide you towards a more successful outcome. However, it is important for you to understand that the disapproval of your thesis does not diminish your potential as a scholar. It presents an opportunity to learn from this experience, refine your research skills, and make substantial improvements in future academic endeavors. I encourage you to meet with your advisor and discuss the feedback provided in detail. Take this opportunity to engage in constructive dialogue, understand the shortcomings, and determine a plan to rectify the issues raised.
