Writing Theses and Dissertations: How to Evaluate Your Work?

One of the most important things to do before writing theses and dissertations is scheduling and planning. You can elaborate a schedule, which will show the progress of your work and its drawbacks. Writing theses and dissertations takes up a lot of time.

There are so many things to do that you do not know what to start with. If you have such schedule, you can work on any theses and dissertations according to your plan and meet even the tightest deadline. The following points reflect the most important aspects of theses and dissertations, which can create a base for your schedule. Consult your supervisor and distribute your efforts reasonably. 

• Decide on the topic of your research. Look through other theses and dissertations to see if this topic was investigated and what data are available.
• Pick up literary sources. You can use references of theses and dissertations connected to your topic and lists of references in books and scientific journals.
• Study the sources and elaborate a hypothesis.
• Think over the methods of investigation. The ways of data gathering and processing are described in detail in methodology of theses and dissertations. 
• Carry out the planned activities to get the results. Describe the findings in detail.
• Start analyzing and interpreting the results. Do they prove the thesis? 
• See theses and dissertations to pick up apt formulations and elements of style.
• Write Results and Discussion sections. They are the most important sections of theses and dissertations, because they are fruits of your work.
• Literature review will not take much time. List the works and their main points. Mention if they coincide with your point of view and if they influenced the elaboration of hypothesis.
• Work on introduction and conclusion. Usually, these sections of theses and dissertations are written later than others. You need to know what background knowledge are needed for complete understanding of your work. Include these facts in introduction and draw conclusions.
