Developing an Index

Developing an Index: "# Inherent Interest: Do you find this topic interesting--or does it seem pretty dull?

# Job Relevance: How much relevance does it have to your present job, or to the job you want to get?

# Availability of Information: Does it seem like it will be relatively easy to find information--or is it likely to be hard to get for one or more reasons: confidentiality, the need to interview people who may be hard to get hold of, information available only in an out-of-way location?

# Clear Focus: Is it easy to draw a clear boundary around the project--or is it likely to keep spreading into new areas?

# Ability to Contribute: How easy is it for you to do something original--or will you have to struggle to keep the thesis from becoming a book report?
