Surviving the Doctoral Years	1995	35	.pdf	application/pdf	19001	953	53	And what if a student breaks one of the rules of the game without knowing it at the time, only to find out later through a casual conversation with students or faculty in one's department? One of the rules with which many doctoral students seem to struggle is the exact purpose of the dissertation--what form of tone and content is acceptable to the faculty within the department (or the doctoral committee) and what abilities it ultimately is intended to demonstrate. It focused on the uncertainty felt by doctoral students in the UW's Department of Speech Communications, which was targeted for elimination along with the departments of Applied Mathematics, Slavic Languages and Literature, Institute for Environmental Studies, and the University's program on Higher Education (Seattle Post- Intelligencer, December 1, 1994).	cache/epaa-660.pdf	txt/epaa-660.txt
