Heading: Researching For Your Thesis? Here Are a Few Easy Tips!
Meta description: So it’s time to write your thesis and you don’t know where to begin, here are a few
tips to help you get through.
Students at the end of their time at college or university are required to research and compile a report
that is their contribution to their selected field. A thesis is an original work product of research, critical
analysis and the discovery of new facts. The most important component of this report is the research.
Students spend a lot of time researching. Researching is difficult and you never know where to start.
First, don’t wait to get started. Don’t put it off. Procrastination is not your friend. Sit down and tell
yourself I am starting this now. Find the right topic. Decide your title and write your title page. This
marks the beginning. Make sure your topic is specific and clear, vague topics do not make for a strong
paper.
Start collecting information. Keep a binder so you can keep it all together. Try and organize everything
as neatly as possible, the organization will help you track things. Keep a list of all the material you plan
on citing. Find a good research place. Go to a library dedicated to the subject your work concentrates on
or look for a good online library. Make sure all your sources are credible.
Read through the theses of other graduated students who did well. Ask your professors for help, go to a
teacher who likes you and is more likely to help you. Ask them if they think you have chosen your topic
well. Discuss your topic with your mentors. If you’re stuck with your research, it’s a good idea to get

services.
Once you have all your research in place, start writing. Know the structure well. It is very important to
get the structure right, you should have a title page, an abstract, a table of contents and a bibliography.
You should roughly list down your major points and draw out a general outline. Probe them for any
flaws. Anticipate all counter arguments so that you are prepared for the questions. This will help you
refine your paper and also let you spot the points you will have to refute later on.
Take your major points and convert them into chapter outlines. Draw clear outlines for what each
chapter should say. Start jotting down points for the content of each chapter.
Once you have all your outlines done start writing the report itself. Use flawless vocabulary and
punctuation. Get your point across. Proofread and edit then allow someone else to read through. A new
pair of eyes will help you spot the holes in your argument. Once you have them fixed you are done with
your dissertation.
