Subject: Disapproval of Senior Graduate Thesis by Department Chair Dear [Student's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I regret to inform you that your senior graduate thesis submitted to the Department of [Department Name] has not been approved by the department chair, as it does not meet the necessary requirements and standards for completion. This decision is based on careful evaluation and assessment by both the thesis advisor and the department reviewing committee. The purpose of this letter is to provide you with detailed feedback explaining the reasons behind the disapproval of your senior graduate thesis. It is aimed at assisting you in understanding the areas that need improvement for your future work. 1. Lack of Clear Research Questions: Your thesis proposal did not clearly identify research questions or objectives that were both feasible and significant in contributing to the field. It is crucial to clearly articulate your research focus and its relevance to gather meaningful findings. 2. Inadequate Review of Literature: The literature review section of your thesis was insufficient in terms of depth and breadth. It is essential to comprehensively review the relevant literature to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the research topic, identify gaps, and establish the theoretical framework. 3. Weak Methodology and Data Collection: The methodology and data collection process used in your thesis were found to be inadequate or insufficiently described. Such critical components need to be explicit, ensuring that the chosen methods are appropriate for answering your research questions and collecting reliable data. 4. Inept Analysis and Interpretation: The analysis and interpretation of data presented in your thesis were insufficient or lacked clarity. A comprehensive analysis using appropriate statistical or qualitative techniques should be conducted to effectively address your research questions and support your conclusions. 5. Minimal Contributions to Knowledge: Your thesis failed to make a substantial contribution to the existing body of knowledge in your field. It is imperative to demonstrate originality by offering new insights, theories, or perspectives that advance the understanding of the topic. You need to clearly outline how your research results impact the field of study. Moving forward, I strongly encourage you to reassess the weaknesses identified above and consider revising your thesis accordingly. Additionally, I highly recommend seeking guidance from your thesis advisor, other faculty members, or peers who can provide valuable feedback and support during the revision process. Please keep in mind that the disapproval of your senior graduate thesis does not imply a lack of potential or capability on your part. Rather, it serves as an opportunity for growth and improvement in your research skills. The Department of [Department Name] is dedicated to fostering a supportive and encouraging environment, and we believe in your ability to succeed. Should you decide to revise and resubmit your thesis, please ensure that all necessary amendments and improvements are adequately addressed.
