Why do I have to write this thesis?

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 by Francois

Well, it is not a secret, studying can be very annoying, especially if you have to write a 85 pages thesis in 2 months (ok i had more time but I was busy ;) Oh and I forgot, it can become even trickier if you are running a business at the same time! So what is my secret to deal with my workload?

Actually there is no secret… I am just lucky my business partners encourage me to take some time off to write my thesis as opposed as doing the job I am supposed to do…I swear I will catch up after the end of September (deadline), learn Ruby and stop calling James a bloody kiwi (maybe not this one :) .  Then, I dedicate most of my nights trying to nail chapters after chapters. I must confess I can not study during the day cause it makes me feel I am wasting my day! But everybody has is own style and I respect it… Finally, I got the support of my parents who offered to correct my essay before sending it to my supervisor. Regarding the size of this piece of work, I really appreciate they take the time to do it!

Who know what I hate about this thesis? It forces me to look at the past, analyze what happen and try to understand how people can do better next time… I mean, it is great, I learn heaps and everybody is happy. HOWEVER, why asking me to write 85 pages when I could do a great job in 20? Why asking me to write it when I am supposed to work? and finally, why do I have to look at the past when I reached the point where I will get more knowledge from future experience? I guess the answer is to get my precious master degree…Yeah, I guess so :) But you know what? One day the way we are educated will change…More interaction, more sharing of knowledge (yes Mr Tuloup, sharing is the future!), more creativity and…more web off course :) That could be the start of some serious talks for our next app…What do you think Jas and James?

Peace

  1. Cher Mr Bonduelle, plutôt que de perdre du temps à écrire sur votre blog, vous feriez mieux d’écrire votre mémoire.

    Absolutely, I’ve got some strong ideas for collaborative study that we could prototype pretty quickly and pilot at educational institutions. My time in the graduate program at Otago has demonstrated how powerful and stimulating groups can be – why shouldn’t the nature of this collaboration extend across different schools? :-)

    And oh snap – you just got schooled by your director! ^^ Reprenez le travail, Mr Bondiguel! lol

    You’re absolutely right Jas, there are plenty of opportunities we can think about after having to suffer too much at school! Stay tunned!

    You are right, why do we have to write a thesis when we can write an article ! I would be even better for the school to get some articles published than a hundred thesis unread … Good luck with your workload ..
