first assignment for seminar class: "go to this website and pick 5 dissertations by previous students you want to read"
me, a week ago: "seems simple enough"
me, now: "I place a curse on whoever set up this archive and also their next of kin"

why are "Caddo Indians Civilization" and "Caddo Indians History" and "Caddo" all separate subject areas???
why are "Early Childhood" and "Early Childhood Education" separate subject areas
why are "Race" and "race" separate subject areas????????
it's the same damn word
what, why is it case-sensitive
yes, it apparently IS
who the fuck is responsible for this affront to archive indexing??? I'm demanding a meeting in a Denny's parking lot
oh, and another one, "Game theory", which should not be confused with "Game theory."
yes, with a period
and I did look, there's different papers listed under those "different" subjects
"this should be easy, how hard could it be to search through an academic database of modern documents"
but wait! there
's more!
special characters can be used in subject titles, including being the first character
however, special characters aren't an option for looking at lists of subjects with the same/similar starting character
this is a disaster of a website
oh my god, one of these dissertations is literally listed here twice, under the same subject heading
I would say whoever manages this website needs to go home and sober up, but frankly, I don't think anyone IS actually managing it
why is one of the subjects just "A" and why is the only dissertation listed in it about about people fee fees on "high-functioning" autistic kids in schools
