Well I wouldn't be able to pass if I turned that in as my masters project. So if it isn't good enough to pass, then in my book it's junk, what else should I call it? In a different light, as a tutorial for chess, it is a great assembly of information, no argument there. Depends on how you look at it, it just doesn't meet the *standard* _I_ would expect of a thesis (of course what my standard is must be rather irrelevant to most people here). If _your_ standard is lower (or perhaps you simply have no idea what to expect of a thesis, perhaps you were even thrilled you could understand it:), then it doesn't have to be junk in your eyes, of course. >Science is about being able to use the theory in a >practical model and then maybe come to new conclusions, although i think the >conclusion part would be a bit arrogant for a graduating student. >Anyway, I would sure look carefully a any new conclusions that are written in a >masters thesis before I take it for granted.
