10/04/2015
Completing a PhD course is something that takes a lot of effort and confidence. Without having the conviction in yourself, it may be impossible to get anywhere in your endeavor. The best way to gain the confidence is to take one thing at a time and concentrate on that with all your heart and soul. One of the most important part of finishing PhD is doing the thesis. When the thesis is broken up into parts, it becomes extremely easy to achieve. It is important to identify the different parts of the thesis.
The first part is the introduction, which includes the topic of the thesis, the proposal and the problem statement. The topic gives an idea of what you intend to target in your study, the proposal serves as an explanation of the topic and the problem statement is which part of the topic, you find to be worthy of the study and how you will tackle it in the course of your study. The best way to get it right is to be clear on your intention and the final result that you want to see. You can also take help from someone who has been there and done that, just to make sure you are on the right track
The second part of the thesis is the body itself. The body contains everything from the history of the topic, to the evolution, to the present and the future. Case studies play a major role in the second part of the thesis. Getting this part right becomes easier if you keep your sources of study diverse and also keep the style of information dynamic.
The final part of the thesis should express what you have learnt from the study and how you may apply your inferences in problem solving. Studying other people’s work helps in getting the inferences right. Making the study a wholesome and error free one.
