The secrets of completing a powerful thesis paper quickly

Many students can leave writing a thesis paper until the last minute. This may not entirely be your fault, as there are other demands of university life that also deserve attention, such as preparation for exams and learning new material. However, since time is of the essence, you need to compose a paper quickly, and not only that, but one which also has the chance of scoring highly. Thus, we have given you these secrets to attaining high marks in your paper when producing one quickly.

Topic

You need to choose a good topic to write about, and one that genuinely interests you. If you fail to do this, then your motivation for writing your paper will wane quickly. Another aspect you need to remember is that you cannot choose a general topic for your dissertation, it needs to be a very specific topic that delves deeply into it.

A hurdle many students falter at is choosing something original. But, this should not be a problem. When students hear that they need to produce something original, they think their paper needs to revolutionize their subject field, and that it should be something that changes the landscape of their topic.

What you need to realize is that all new research that is produced builds upon already existing knowledge. For example, if you critique or improve upon an already existing and established method in your subject field, this will constitute as something original, and be worthy of a dissertation topic. Since time is of the essence, you need to find something that is easy to write and research about like the aforementioned example.

Research

You need to conduct good and thorough research for your paper. An entire section of your paper will be devoted to analyzing the current research and literature pertaining to your topic. Thus, it is pivotal to implement good sources into your work.

Since you are short on time, the quickest way to access great sources is through journals devoted to your topic. These journals will have all the latest literature submitted regarding your topic, along with an archive composing of decade’s worth of research. This quick access will allow you to see and choose which literature is good enough to implement into your work.

Another good avenue for excellent sources is to visit your university’s library. Ask the librarian for the best books pertaining to your topic. Many books will include good pieces of research that are hard to find online. Furthermore, they will expand your knowledge on the topic, which can only be a positive.

Structure

The structure of your thesis should be as follows:

  • Abstract: A brief paragraph explaining what you will be writing about
  • Table of contents: This will tell where the reader can find certain sections of you paper.
  • Introduction: This will be an outline of what you will be discussing during the course of your paper, and the topic you will be talking about.
  • Literature Review: This will provide the reader some context about your topic, and you will discuss the existing literature relevant to your topic.
  • Methodology: This section will deal with discussing and analyzing the methods you will use to gather your research.
  • Findings: In this section, you analyse the results you achieved through your methods and have a discussion about them.
  • Conclusion: This section is a summarization of everything you have discussed, particularly your findings. Make sure to reiterate the main taking points of your work.
