The Sun Rising
Busy Old Fool, unruly sun
Why dost thou
Through curtains, and through windows call on us?
Must to thy motions, lovers’ seasons run
Saucy pedantic wretch…
You nosy old busybody, you obey no normal rules.
Why do you come disturbing us, waking us with your
light which shines through the curtains and
windows…

•A plan of work describing the various aspects of the study in a logical sequence along with the
methodologies to be employed, are the most important crux of any research plan. It helps to
demonstrate that the researcher has a fairly good idea about the nature of work likely to be involved.

will be obtained from primary or secondary sources, etc. A time schedule for the various aspects of

• References and Bibliography
• Synopsis should contain at the end a list of references, and a bibliography
if required. These should be written on a standard pattern.
• Length of a synopsis
• It will be difficult to define an overall length for a synopsis for
MSc/M.Phil/Ph.D. Research in such varied fields of study. Whereas it
should be concise as far as possible and avoid repetitions, it should also
provide sufficient details on the various aspects mentioned above to show
that the research involved has been well understood and planned, and it is
of 1500 words.
Abstract
•AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM AFTER WELFARE REFORM

•Abstract
•This thesis explores the effects the changes from welfare reform have had on the Food Stamp
Program. The hypothesis states will the passing of the Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act create a negative impact on the food stamp participation rates.
The Food Stamp Program effectively provides low-income households with means to buy food.
Through the use of a regression the hypothesis is tested using a series of economic and welfare
reform explanatory variables. If the changes from the reform have created a negative impact
will the program be able to continue to act as an economic stabilizer? This is an especially
pressing issue considering it is one of the only entitlement programs left in the United States
welfare system.

• THE ART MARKET: AN ECONOMETRIC MODEL
• Jordan A. Pock
• May 2003
• Economics
• Abstract
• While traditionally art holds value in its intrinsic qualities and ability to convey
meaning, through style, composition and content, this study analyzes the
economic components of art. These include the supply and demand of art as well
as the risk and return of holding art as an investment. This study attempts to
explain the price, substitutes and finance of art, and in doing so identifies variables
that lead to the price determination of paintings. Furthermore its aim is to identify
potential market inefficiencies in an effort to earn higher than average return on
investment.
