...consultation; it just jumped up here and there." Despairing at the brutality of a particularly nasty communist regime, ordinary citizens in Budapest - students, office workers - turned themselves into guerrilla fighters almost literally overnight, learning on the job, as it were, how to lure a Soviet tank down a narrow alley and bomb it with Molotov cocktails.

...year, you may be hard-pressed to find a thesis adviser. Generally you need to venture to other departments and compete with the students who are actually in them to fish for thesis advisers. (The lucky few will get a tutorial leader whose specialized field is right up their alley.) Students choose to focus their thesis on theory or field research abroad (developing countries seem popular). Either way, your research topic still needs to be of high theoretical, not just personal, interest (read: challenge, revise, engage, prove existing theories or devise your own).Most importantly, if you don?...
