BTW, what did you teach, and in what areas were your students writing theses? I found that as a very great generalization historians tended to write better theses than English or (worst of all) social sciences students. Perhaps because historians must, at some point, deal with actual facts, whereas an English or social science thesis can be based entirely on theorizing (though I agree that many are also based in part on facts or, in the social sciences, on studies that may or may not be well carried out, but where the interpretation of data is always based, in part at least, on theorizing, unlike the "hard" sciences.)
