My thesis topic was accepted! - cookderosa - 12-18-2013

I finished my LAST master's class this week and crossed my fingers that I'd hear back about my master's proposal sometime before the end of Christmas break. I got an email last night that my program director loves my project idea (whew- I really wasn't sure) and so with a few minor grammar changes and an additional citation, I'll resubmit tonight!
Exciting right? Except, now it occurs to me that I have to actually DO THE THING!! :willynilly:

Wow!! And I know, people will ask "what is your topic?" but having answered that question in real life for about a dozen people (as I watched their eyes glaze over) I think people are just being polite, so I've learned not to really explain- just tell. LOL My title is NUTRITION IN THE UNDERGRADUATE CULINARY CURRICULUM: A SURVEY OF UNITED STATES CULINARY PROGRAMS

Excellent! Congrats, Jennifer. I'm working on an idea for my Capstone, so I know that coming up with a good idea is half the battle. Ok... maybe not half, but still. Smile

"NUTRITION IN THE UNDERGRADUATE CULINARY CURRICULUM: A SURVEY OF UNITED STATES CULINARY PROGRAMS"


that sounds really interesting
but I'm surprised that you got any cooperation
I would have thought if you approached a school and said "I'm doing research on the emphasis of nutrition in your curriculum", that most schools would be wary of being portrayed in a negative light (or at least be concerned how they compare to other schools and what you would do with the results) and wouldn't want to be interviewed -- the wrong interviewer could easily turn this into a propaganda piece

It's a fact-finding mission, not an interview project. I'll be collecting data on every <gulp> RA degree granting culinary arts program in the country. I'll be essentially building a database on a few particulars of the nutrition COURSES offered in their culinary arts programs. Nutrition walks a line between academic transfer and career/applied tech, so I'll be the first person to pull it together into a big picture.

Congratulations on finishing the coursework. Being jaded by so many students who never finish their work, I'll withhold the rest of my congratulations when you successfully defend your thesis. Big Grin

That's a strange thing to say? But okay.
