But in many departments, such as physics and chemistry, a large proportion of students are doing lab work without the intention of writing a thesis.
Greka began her thesis research in the summer following her sophomore year and has been working on it since.
Like many other senior science concentrators, Greka currently spends about 20 to 25 hours a week in lab doing research for her thesis.
According to Davis, the chemistry department wants students to have the experience of working in a lab and not be pressured by the time constraints posed by writing a thesis.
While a thesis is not mandatory, Gelbart, who is also professor of molecular and cellular biology, says that about 45 to 50 of the department's approximate 150 senior concentrators write theses each year.
