What Dennis Taylor told you
Acceptable thesis when the author applies
standard theories and methods in a rather
pedestrian way. It is not wrong, but it is not
dazzling. Uses a traditional format
Introduction, literature review, methodology,
results and conclusion Meets the common criteria
for success with editors
