Abstract
number of postgraduate students has been growing exponentially in Iran in the last two decades. That is while the number of faculty has not increased proportionally to keep up with the fast growth. Hence, the student-faculty ratio has widened, turning thesis and dissertations into chaotic scene. Accordingly, this paper aims at uncovering how Iranian professors supervise postgraduate research projects in such a complex unprecedented context. The research participants are 45 postgraduate students who were selected purposively by criterion sampling strategy and interviewed by informal and in-depth techniques. Methodologically, the research may be deemed as grounded theory with emergent design (proposed by Charmaz). Thus, the data were analyzed at two levels, namely initial and focused (secondary) coding, and a quadripartite typology emerged consequently

Abstract
In this paper, I try to put forward a new model for curriculum evaluation, entitled ECCP (Evaluating Curriculum as a Complex Phenomenon), out of my perception of curriculum as a complex event. In the abovementioned model, various dimensions and aspects of curriculum (written, operationalized, experienced, tested, and flourished) are evaluated by three criteria (intended ideals, implicit elements, and overlooked aspects) which finally forms a 15-cell matrix. I firmly believe that evaluating and assessing curriculum as a complex phenomenon requires answers to the questions posed by each cell. It is also endorsed by the model that any evaluation plan ought to locate curriculum in context to offer meaningful results and findings.

Abstract
With the emergence and spread of the corona virus, different sections of different societies faced serious challenges. The institution of education is one of the most fundamental centers of change in the world during the coronavirus epidemic. These changes resulting from the outbreak of the coronavirus and its changes in formal and informal curricula have led researchers to present a new concept in the field of curriculum studies based on their professional and educational mission, entitled "Unpredictable Curriculum" Choose. To achieve the research goal, a concept development strategy has been used. Siegerchr('39')s prescriptive criteria and expert opinions have also been used to validate the analyzes performed. Finally, while the concept of unpredictable curriculum is explained and analyzed, the dimensions, examples and challenging aspects of this type of curriculum are also described.
