Re: Correcting a dissertation?



Just curious...what discipline? Lots of errors? Errata sheets are fairly
commonplace, at least among hard science books, that sort of thing. However,
those errata sheets often contain only a few corrections, which are of
value, obviously, to a researcher.  Although I don't know much about
dissertations, could the granting institution require these revisions as
part of his actually being granted the PhD?
