#master's thesis

[oldschoolfrp]

"Where do summoned creatures come from?" asked Melar. "Are they assembled from raw energy like illusion, or do they have real existences in some other place, from whence we snatch them as we need them?"

(From Philip Rennert's short story "Master's Thesis, The Space Gamer 62, April 1983, with Denis Loubet illustration)

Combatants in Metagaming's Wizard could conjure illusions or summon physical creatures to fight for them. The Summon Myrmidon spell produced an armed human with no apparent free will. In this tale young Melar devises a series of experiments to summon warriors and attempt to awaken their true personalities and determine their origin. Unfortunately for the entire wizard guild the process works, and one of the summoned men escapes with the knowledge of who has been randomly abducting so many of his people and returning them with fatal wounds.

My baby is finally published! Now, if only I could figure a way around the embargo. I just want to share my results or at least the abstract!

Now that I think about it, I'm not even sure if I'm allowed to share the title... nobody snitch.

I'm still writing my master's thesis and gathering information! I've been sitting on this survey for MONTHS because I've been so scared about putting it out there lmao 😭

It would be super cool of you guys to answer!! Everything is confidential!!!

And if there's anything I can improve on this survey or if there's anything else you want to tell me let me know!

You guys are the best and I appreciate it!!

I finally started to analyze my Master's thesis' data! I've been working on it for 7 hours today and managed to describe the data and answer the first research question (which was also descriptive) and then begin the analysis to answer the second research question ✌

I meant to begin my journey into thesis researching earlier in the week, but as expected, the transition from summer vacation to work mindset hasn't been the easiest.

With that being said, I met with my supervisor last month to better determine my thesis research topic, plus some guidelines on how to start. It was a very helpful meeting, and thus today I began researching the aspects we mentioned. Next up I will have to look into case-law, which is probably my favorite part of law research.

I ended up deciding to do research on copyright duration, so that's what I shall focus on for the next months as I go through this journey. I'm feeling some insecurities on whether I'll be able to write a good master thesis, but I'm excited to be able to explore Copyright Law on a deeper level with this--it's my favorite kind of law.

Featured in the photos are the music that kept me company during my work session, as well as my current read, Malice by John Gwynne. I'm still only 84 pages into it, which isn't a lot for a 600+ page book, but I’m enjoying my time with it. Adult Fantasy is truly something else.

Can you spare 8 minutes of your time?

I am a master's in management student in Portugal and I need people 18-30 yo that live in the UK to answer my thesis' survey ( I am working with a portuguese beverage brand that wants to expand to the UK)

I am quite desperate because I do not know many people from the UK. So, if you fit in the description above (18-30yo, living in the UK), would you mind helping me by filling out my survey? It only takes 8 minutes!

Here is the link: https://www.tumblr.com/communities/studyblr/post/765697752463228928/qualtrics-survey-uk-consumer-insights-on

Also, if you do not fit the sample requirements, I kindly request that you share the survey with acquaintances that fit.

Sorry for the incovenience, but I have till the end of this week to get answers and, so far, I have too few (below the minimum number).

Thank you! 🥹

I think I need someone who would genuinely tell me that they think I'm too dumb and unskilled to write my Master's and I will never do it. Let me tell you my friends if this kind of person happen to exist and I'd be convinced they don't do it to motivate me but honestly hope for my failure, I would finish this shit in two weeks.

[teratophiliologist]

I've once again been placed in academic prison!!! My committee chairman has decided, without consulting me, that my thesis will be put on a 6-month embargo. Basically I'm unable to share any of my results for 6 months following the university readers' approval.

On the bright side, I'm going to use this time to my advantage by seeing if I can break my thesis into multiple articles and get them published in academic journals.

Also, @monstrousdesirestudy and I are already hard at work on a follow-up study, so stay tuned for more updates.

Cas and I would be very grateful if you could take part in a survey on fandoms for my master’s thesis 😄

movement journal, someone new, march 2025

what is it to be too much and not enough 

but too much too much tooooooooo much 

to feel the spilling pouring surging with no substance behind it? 

as the title says... a movement journal from March 2025 as a part of MFA research. I don't own the music!

[faeriefully]

for research: Are there any books you know of that involve siblings of children with chronic illnesses?

✨hello!!✨

My name is Han and I am currently a master's student in Dance Leadership and Community Practice. As someone recently diagnosed with ADHD, I have become aware of how pervasive masking is for me and I began to realize that I felt most myself, most unmasked, when I was dancing. This account is just here as a catalogue of my personal practice as part of my research into unmasking. Through an exploration of identity and public facing persona, this research aims to explore the presence of masking in public life for all neurotypes and the possibility of using movement to deconstruct that mask. If you're at all interested in the research (or even just watching me wiggle around in the studio) I'd love it if you gave this account a follow! x
