Thesis Writing Guidelines

• Be sure to select a topic you can relate to and will arouse the average reader’s interest.
• Master the pertinent facts, analyze data necessary to your study and churn out rational answers to the questions you have posed.
• The first thing a reader sets eyes on is the abstract. The abstract is merely a deciding factor for the reader and asserts in a few sentences why the paper is a must read. Although the abstract features first in your thesis, it only makes sense to frame it on completion of the final draft of your thesis.
• An abstract aims at answering elementary questions such as “Why did do you conduct this study?’ or “What method did you use?” A good abstract is concise, readable, and quantitative. 
• Create a ‘table of contents’ that lists all heading and sub-headings with page numbers. Do not forget to indent your sub-headings.
• Create a clear-cut list of the figures included in the thesis and list the page numbers of these figures alongside.
• Move on to the introduction that primarily comprises the thesis statement that motivates your reader to hold on to the thesis till the very last page. Back up your statements with adequate background information to help the reader comprehend the context and significance of the question you are trying to address. 
• Lure readers into the subject matter by juxtaposing your introduction with compelling anecdotes or relevant examples.
• Elucidate your central argument or testable proposition and provide your readers with "road map" to assist them in understanding what each section does.
• Enhance the credibility of your endeavours and results by reiterating the methods used in your experiment or revelation. Describe the materials and procedures involved with intricate details. Top it off with the Limitations and assumptions that propelled you forward into achieving noteworthy results.  
• If your study involved laboratory analyses, statistical analyses or key algorithms of computer software, try mentioning these facts with as much precision possible.
• Once you’ve finished the section on ‘methodologies’, start pacing with the ‘results’. Produce actual statements of your observations by including statistics, tables and graphs. Mention negative results as well as positive. Be confident and unaffected with regards to shifting paradigms.
• Develop several coherent sections and assign a succinct title to each section.
• Forget not to emphasize upon the evidence or reasoning that supports your hypothesis!
• Evaluate your final draft and scan for potential factual errors or camouflaged black holes within your to be published theory.
• When you come to your conclusion section, consolidate all your findings to arrive at a unifying theme that highlights the importance of your observations.
• Retreat to the problem posed and describe the conclusions that you derived after carrying out this investigation. Focus on the new interpretations that have stemmed from your research study.
• Make it a point to use plain language and to write in the active voice. Keep proofreading for spelling, grammatical and numerical errors.
• Give credit where credit is due and cite your sources.
• Pages should be numbered, and the paper should be stapled or bound, not paper-clipped.
• Save a backup copy of your research and writing on your personal desktop/desktop or copy it onto a portable device.
