Helpful tips for the students struggling thesis writing


like me most of the students find it very difficult to write a thesis, because of many valid reasons and a few of them are mentioned below:

1.    Lack of knowledge on how to write a thesis.
2.    Not familiar with the structuring of a thesis.
3.    Lack of proper guidance.
4.    Lack of time management.

The reason of writing this article if to help students with basic information on how to write a thesis, what are its basis structures and the awareness of importance of each chapter.

A thesis is mainly divided into five chapters and each chapter covers a certain part of the thesis and has its own importance.

Chapter 1: This chapter is also known as introduction chapter, in which the introduction, aims and objectives of the thesis are highlighted.

Chapter 2: This chapter is also called literature review or review of the literature, in this chapter the author is required to highlight all the sources used in the thesis but keep in mind that literature review is not limited to just  list the names of sources used but the it requires to highlight briefly.

Chapter 3: This chapter is mostly named as methodology, this chapter covers how the data was collected and implemented in the thesis which is necessary to mention in detail in this chapter.

Chapter 4: This chapter is also known as findings and in this chapter the author mentions the result and outcome of the research done on the topic but it has to detailed and precise.

Chapter 5: This chapter is called as discussion, in this chapter the author of the thesis concludes and discuss the main topic, this chapter can be considered as one of the most chapter because in this chapter the author is willing to wrap up the thesis and has to give strong arguments on the reasons of researching on the particular topic.

Kindly note that these are general guidelines however it can depend on the certain on the certain criteria by schools and universities.
