Subject: Maryland Sample Letter — Disapproval of Senior Graduate Thesis Dear [Student's Name], I hope this letter finds you well.

After careful evaluation and consideration, it is with regret that I must disapprove your thesis as it currently stands. The reasons for this decision are outlined below: 1. Lack of Originality: The content and argument presented in your thesis heavily replicate existing research without offering distinct perspectives or innovative ideas. To ensure a valuable contribution to your field of study, it is essential to demonstrate originality and engage with existing scholarship in a meaningful way. 2. Weak Theoretical Framework: Your thesis lacks a coherent and strong theoretical framework to guide your research. An effective theoretical foundation provides the necessary framework to interpret and analyze your findings. I strongly advise revisiting and strengthening the theoretical underpinnings of your thesis. 3. Poor Methodological Approach: The methods employed for data collection and analysis in your thesis are inadequately explained and fail to meet the standards necessary for rigorous academic research. A well-defined methodological approach is crucial for ensuring the validity and reliability of your findings. 4. Inadequate Literature Review: Your thesis's literature review lacks depth and breadth in terms of the research sources consulted. A comprehensive review of existing scholarship is crucial to build a solid foundation for your argument. I encourage you to broaden your review and engage with a more diverse range of scholarly works. 5. Limited Analysis and Interpretation: The data analysis and interpretation presented in your thesis are superficial and fail to fully engage with the research questions and objectives. It is essential to critically evaluate your findings and provide insightful interpretations that contribute to the advancement of knowledge within your field. In light of these concerns, I highly recommend that you revise and address the aforementioned issues in your thesis. I strongly advise seeking guidance from your advisor or faculty members who can provide valuable insights and assistance throughout the revision process. Please note that a disapproval in its current state does not imply a complete rejection of your thesis. By making the necessary revisions, you have the opportunity to transform your work into a comprehensive and impactful contribution. I believe in your ability to address these concerns and produce a thesis that meets the high academic standards of our department. Should you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Wishing you the best in your revisions. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Department Chair] [University Name]
