Dissertation is the most important assignment in a
student’s life. However, dissertation writing comes with
a number of hurdles.
Students usually have a number of questions in their
minds before starting with their dissertation.
The following list of dos and don’ts will answer the
common queries related to dissertation writing. Go
through it if you want to write an excellent dissertation.
1. Don’t try to achieve a final draft at the beginning
For more information , visit :
https://myassignmenthelp.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-for-writing-a-dissertation/
Do not treat your first draft as the last one because there
can be several conceptual, spelling and punctuation
mistakes in the assignment.
Re-read the draft several times in order to identify and
exclude mistakes from the paper.
Try to get as many ideas while writing the first draft to lay
a strong foundation of the paper.

2. Do write such drafts regularly
Try to incorporate writing in daily routine to polish your
writing skills and also to develop your concentration.
Do not expect to write 1000 or 2000 words in a day.
Remember, the number of words you deliver in a day
depends on your individual capability.
Read relevant references to get inspired by other ideas
and thoughts. Create a schedule to incorporate both
reading and writing.

3. Don’t skip reading
Do extensive reading to collect relevant data. Read
selected sources carefully to extract important points
from the material.
Not reading sources carefully can cost you valuable
data and important information crucial for your
subject.
Evaluate and analyze what you read to exercise your
judgment and try to relate the author’s ideas with your
writing.

4. Do develop a habit of reading in-depth

it is important to invest a good amount of time in
reading.
Analyze how the author made his or her point, the
pattern and tone of writing in order to enhance your
knowledge.
Create a schedule for reading. Make sure you have
everything in place before starting to write a
dissertation.
5. Don’t isolate yourself
For more information , visit :
https://myassignmenthelp.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-for-writing-a-dissertation/
Do not take too much burden on your shoulders. It is
almost impossible to complete a dissertation on your
own. You definitely need help from others.
Do not feel shy to ask for help from writing service
companies for samples or from professionals for editing
the final draft.
Take assistance from peers if necessary, even from the
seniors. Consult dissertation ideas with all those people
who have the subject knowledge.
6. Do mix with people

Interact with the people who already have completed
writing their dissertations. Consult with them if it is

how valid the opinions are; do they help really you in any
way.

knowledge and you can apply them in dissertation
writing.
7. Don’t start with typing your paper
For more information , visit :

Do not begin the dissertation by typing it on computer

Use pen and paper to let your ideas flow on the paper. Try
not to think about the spelling and grammatical mistakes
at first.
Leave the typing job for later when you are certain that
you have a perfectly written dissertation. Take time to do
it perfectly.
8. Do use pen and paper and also write on a
dedicated rough notebook
For more information , visit :
https://myassignmenthelp.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-for-writing-a-dissertation/
Carry a medium sized notebook or writing pad to write
down fresh opinions related to the dissertation subject.
Do not think of mistakes while writing down the ideas on
the rough notebook. Write freely without fearing about
committing mistakes.
Writing at regular intervals helps you in polishing writing
skills as well as your critical thinking which are necessary
for dissertation writing.
9. Don’t start with the introduction
For more information , visit :
https://myassignmenthelp.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-for-writing-a-dissertation/
To avoid the fear of messing up the introduction, save it
for later part after writing the chapters of the dissertation.

written already.

introduction, write a rough introduction that you can
improvise.

conversations about the dissertation topic because it can
confuse you more.
Make sure you and your friends do not have same
approach towards the topic, otherwise, the content may
get rejected due to plagiarism issue.
12. Do acquire ideas through discussions
