People in the Thesis Process
Back to Thesis / Dissertation
Your thesis work will involve a number of people in various roles.
Research Advisor
The research advisor is the immediate supervisor of your research activity. This can be anyone approved by your academic advisor (and may be your academic advisor, if appropriate). The research advisor is not required to be School of Informatics faculty.
Thesis Committee
This committee must have at least three members, one of whom is the research advisor. Typically, the committee members are: research advisor, program director, and a third person knowledgeable in the student's research area. This third person can be a non-academic professional, as well as non-Informatics faculty.
Reviewer
The reviewer helps prepare your final approved thesis before binding. This person assists with formatting and quality issues to ensure that your thesis is correctly assembled and produced for archival.
