ETD Guide/Students/Learning from other ETDs
Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.
Documents are often prepared in a similar form to that of prior documents. Students are encouraged to go
to http://www.theses.org and follow links found there to other ETDs. Of particular interest should be
the set of Notable ETDs found at that site. Modeling one’s work after these may be an effective strategy
as long as local requirements are satisfied (see above).
In its Fall 2001 meeting, the NDLTD Steering Committee decided to pursue this strategy, giving awards
for the best masters and for the best doctoral ETDs. Once these are identified, they will be linked in with
the above-mentioned Notable ETD section.
