THESIS/DISSERTATION
I learned from a thesis about dissertations that students were first required to write them before the end of the 18th century in German universities. In my opinion （ and I am not alone in this） ， the thesis in its present form is a huge waste of time. In this I have the support of W.Malcolm Reid， who raised five objections to the dissertation： （i） it is not a useful tool in scientific communication， （ii） the writing skills in thesis writing are not those required for publication， （iii） its length has become excessive and discouraging， （iv） it has no standard format， and （v） when unpublished， it represents a failure in the training system for PhDs. As a teacher of writing for publication， I am particularly angry about the second objection. I find that I have to help doctoral students to UNLEARN the writing skills they developed while writing a thesis. For example： the thesis must be as long as possible， while the manuscript must be concise; the thesis must contain every little thing the candidate did， while the manuscript must contain only novel and important findings; the thesis introduction must reference everything published in the topic since the invention of writing，while the manuscript introduction should contain only enough information for the reader to understand why the project was done.
