THIS March is a stressful month for most degree candidates. Not entirely their fault. That’s life, especially in graduate school. Their capstones, usually research projects, theses or dissertations are nearing the deadlines for final oral defense. In fact, this fearsome deadline began one or two months earlier. But as always, these latter months of the school year, the hurried pens, or the personal computers are at their worst—for a 24-hour service. Time is limited; most graduate students though busy with their duties in their respective organizations, brace for further studies for obvious reasons. What I can share with our colleagues in academe are the usual aspects I have observed from editing research capstones submitted past the middle this month. Indeed, the candidates want to beat the deadline. Otherwise, they cannot publicly receive their sheepskin.
