For those who are aiming for graduate school, you need a recommendation letter. In order for me to write a good
recommendation letter, I need to know how much you know and you are capable of applying your knowledge. In
order to know that supervising students with thesis writing is the best way to understand students' abilities.
Another important aspect of thesis writing is that students can experience the process of thesis writing which will
be needed in research-type graduate school.
