Ken,
Please don't imagine that I am suggesting "grand projects." I am
not--and I wouldn't presume to know what "grand projects" even means.
This idea is not the only alternative to the list that Phillips and Pugh
offer. Perhaps some of the items are possible, but I wonder if P & P
can explain the basis for their list. I suspect that the explanation
they would offer would give us little help in really assessing the list.
For example, I find a large number of the items to be suitable for
master's level work, and when they are extended into doctoral studies
they are little more than very long master's theses. How would P & P
distinguish master's and doctoral study?
