After interviewing faculty, students decide on athesis advisor and topic area. The main deliverable of the course is a preliminary thesis proposalconsisting of an abstract, literature search, statement of work, and a timeline to complete theirprogram. The evolution and development of the course, and experiences with students will bediscussed in this paper, along with

In the context ofsolving ill-structured problems, Kitchener stated that, while Metacognition allowed one tochoose different cognitive strategies for the purpose of tackling a specific task, EpistemicCognition allows one to “interpret the nature of a problem and to define the limits of any strategyto solving it” (p. 226).
