【No. 0045】Graduation Thesis

Feb 1, 2015 23:05
 In Japan, the graduation season is approaching. As is often the case, graduate research presentations are held in Mid-February, the deadline for graduation thesis is February as well.
 Today, I read and corrected my junior's master theses carefully almost all day. It stands to reason that every sentence he wrote is perfect, but the connections of sentences were sometimes unnatural. Also, his story was sometimes logically incoherent. I was patiently looking for his mistakes and wrote correction comments. I was a little tired, but I'm happy to feel my junior's growth.

Thank you so much for correcting me!^^
You look like a programmer because you used Inline comment syntax. :D

Haha, I'm not sure what that is, but that's kind of cool! And, not a problem! I did notice one error though, I'm sure you noticed it but just in case - in the second correction it should say "carefully proofreading my junior's master thesis", not "theses". That's working on the assumption that he only wrote one thesis, though.

Thank you for your additional correction! I learned a lot.(^^)
In fact, double slash (//) means inline comments in many programming languages. :)

Oh, interesting, I didn't know that! Now the next time someone says that to me I'll just go along with it and say, "Oh, you noticed? It's just an old habit!", lol. Not really, that would be lying. haha
