"Talks?" I said, raising an eyebrow. "But isn't it a requirement that I write a thesis?"

Professor Blake nodded, but there was a gleam in his eye. "Technically, yes. But if you prepare well for the talks, or lectures, if you prefer to call them that, we can transcribe the talks into a thesis. I've already cleared it with the university board."

I thought about it for a moment. "Well, I have nothing against it. I could talk about what to look for in start-ups or how to use branding to increase interest and revenue."

He smiled. "Those are excellent topics, Jack. They fit perfectly with the specialization."

We agreed on it, but I still had one question. "Where would I give the talks?"

"I can give you three months to prepare. Let's set the dates for May 21st and 28th, right before exams. After all, you'll need to focus on passing all your classes. You've still got some third-year courses to finish, and then all of your fourth-year ones."
