People may say that finding out what their significant other wants is
difficult but finding out what your professor wants can be just as hard or
harder. The truth may be couched in layers of academic jargon,
euphemism and mistaken shared understanding. Before you start to write
anything, ask him or her what all of it means. This can be a humbling
experience but it may spark understanding in other students who had
similar misunderstandings but didn’t want to step forward first.
Whether you’ve gotten any help out of your professor or not, you should
look for examples of well written dissertations. These can show you on
paper what your own dissertation should end up looking like and can
even assist you in understanding vague formatting rules that don’t make
sense when explained.

Calm down
This probably should have been the first tip because of how important it
is. By panicking we make it harder to see the obvious solutions to any
situation we face. Calmly assess your dissertation requirements. Breathe
deeply and clear your mind.
Combining all of these together you will end up with a dissertation that
no academic can look down on.
