If you have any people involved in your thesis research, please indicate this to Lynn Thomas ASAP!
An example of having people involved in your work: tracking people’s eye movements as they read the screen content… that counts as having human subjects!
There are policies about the use of humans in research (yes, even non-medical) and there are forms that must be filled out for the Institutional Review Board.
Here are the deadlines for the students who plan to defend their thesis in May.

La UIC richiede che il certificato di laurea sia presentato sia in Italiano che in Inglese. Se la vostra università non rilascia il certificato in lingua Inglese dovete rivolgervi a un traduttore certificato ATA (www.atanet.org). Sul sito c’e’ un motore di ricerca per i traduttori certificati. Un nostro studente ha trovato almeno 5 traduttori certificati ATA in Italia, di cui uno a Milano. A causa dell’urgenza con cui aveva bisogno del certificato si e’ poi rivolto a:
Elizabeth Hill-Barsanti
American Translators? Association
Accredited Italian to English
Via della Farnesina 136
00194 Rome, Italy
Tel: +39 063294982
email: md2401@mclink.it
Partendo da una traduzione fatta dallo studente, nel 2007, la spesa e’ stata intorno ai 70 euro, comprensivi di 10 euro di spese di spedizione. Una traduzione completa dall’italiano e altri traduttori potrebbero avere costi diversi legati ai diversi servizi e alle diverse tipologie di traduzione.
There is a change in the procedure for applicants to the Spring 2008 semester.
The Admissions Dept of UIC will take applicants who have not yet completed the laurea, provided those transcripts arrive before the end of the first UIC term.
However, no application will go forward without a TOEFL score, so please communicate this to all applicants who plan to apply for the October 15th Spring 2008 semester deadline.
The slides of the presentations given by UIC professors on Monday, May 14th are available:
