All about dissertations & theses


Even doctoral students can get the jitters when they have an important
assignment to hand in. The dissertation is probably the most important
type of assignment any student has ever handled so this piece of writing
can easily become the reason for full on panic attacks and nervous
breakdowns. Sanity is far more precious than any academic qualification
and with that in mind, here are some steps you can take to have a stress
free dissertation writing process:

Ask your Professor what he or she wants

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.

Look for examples of well done dissertations

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

Practice academic writing

If for some strange reason you’ve reached the level of a doctorate


without thoroughly exploring the world of academic writing, now is the
best time, or perhaps the only time to remedy this. Start to write mini
papers in the format you have to use. They may not be perfect but they
will help you work out the worst of your issues before the dissertation is
due.

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.
