How To Create The Best Dissertation Ever: Wholesome Advice
The old tricks are often the best, and they’re also the most simplest too. So, let’s get the basics dealt with first, as they’re the most important. In order to create a great mansion you first need to start with the foundations.
Organization.
It can’t be stressed enough how much organization is the key to writing a fabulous thesis. Make a realistic timetable that you stick to- allowing enough time for each segment required (and leave a few days at the end of your timetable devoted to polishing).
Be prepared.
- You should do your research and make plenty of notes before you even begin to write the dissertation.
- Once you have your notes in order, make a list of the points you want to raise, the arguments to be had, links to be found, references to include… Try to envision a visual map of your thesis in your head so you have a clear outline of your aims and objectives.
- Formulate your chapters with rough headings, knowing what content to place where and then begin your first draft.
- You should write the main chapters first, then the conclusion, and then the introduction (and any thesis statement or abstract required). The latter should be written last simply because you’ll know exactly what should be contained it; seeing as you’ve already written the rest.
- When writing, it’s easy for new thoughts to occur, references and research to appear… and often your intentions that you had to begin with may lead you in another direction. This is no bad thing, and if you’re sure it’s going to improve your dissertation then you should go with it. However, what you don’t want to do is go off on a tangent that you don’t have the necessary time to study, so always reel it back to the original intentions. You don’t want to run out of time after sticking to such a well prepared timetable.
Making it fabulous!
