You are required to submit three paper copies plus one disk copy by the first Monday of October. Common pitfalls Based on our experience of previous years, a number of shortcomings in theses have been identified. You should bear these in mind when preparing your thesis. Some students treat science and technology as black boxes. Topics related to science and technology are chosen, but the content of the black boxes is not investigated, particularly not its relationship with society.
Some students seem to forget all about their first semester.
You should not. One way of avoiding this is to examine the social, historical, cultural, political or economic context of the science or technology you are considering. The STS dimension should, at the very least, be visible in the research question you set yourself. The answer should be 'No'. You need to draw on at least one other discipline in order to justify the question.
