Working on dissertation is a commitment. It’s like marriage with research and paper. It requires devotion and persistence to keep the ‘relationship’ work. On the other hand, UK dissertations serve honeymoon via students’ publication credentials.
So how do students pull all that devotion and credentials to work? The first part involves the generation and selection of a dissertation focus, from a viable topic. It is students’ imperative to locate information and inspiration to make such generation and selection possible.
Next in the list is the development of the dissertation structure. The approach in developing such should be balanced. In the side, students put everything that could be possibly applicable to their dissertation. At the other side, they make the structure flexible, as the actual process of research and writing can bring more choices or a deduction of the structure.
Both perspectives seemed to be too opposite to ever creating that balance. But if students’ loyalty is at the right place – which is on the gradual improvement of the dissertation – then taking such pains in dissertation structure is worthwhile. What’s more, students do get their reward:
I. A firm structure could assure them that the coverage of their topic is sufficiently explored.
II. A good structure can do works when in the process of research and writing, they get lost. It’s like having a dissertation roadmap, per se.
III. The structure will aid all held assumptions. This seldom makes sense in the beginning of dissertation work; however, students are best assured that they do take the meaning while actually doing the dissertation work, particularly in the analysis, as well as the findings and conclusions.
After the design of a workable dissertation structure, students could start establishing a lengthy and chunky dissertation proposal. At this point, students get to test the structure. The results will either reinforce or weaken the value of the structure components. Consequently, students get to start doing changes with it.
Making the structure flexible ensures that any change will not substantially harm the whole dissertation. If it were marriage, the structure may be the ‘love’ that cohesively binds.
