"There was a tremendous euphoria, especially after the Russians agreed to a cease-fire and withdrew to their barracks," says Lessing. "People thought, 'This is going to be it. It's going to work.'"

(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?...
