The Thesis & Dissertation Experience What is a thesis or dissertation? • The terms “thesis” and “dissertation” are often interchangeable names for the main written document that a graduate student must write and defend in order to obtain a graduate degree or doctorate. • These names are interchangeable, because some schools may call the document a dissertation, while other schools refer to it as a thesis. The length and details of a thesis or dissertation differ depending on the degree or doctorate, and the field of study. • Two things are certain, however: • Every graduate student must write one to earn their Masters degree or PhD; • The main purpose of the document is to prove to your academic peers and superiors that you are worthy of the title you are seeking, and capable of making a significant, and original, contribution to your field.
What does writing a thesis or dissertation involve? Research – Research begins before a firm topic has even been chosen. It’s during the research period that a broad field is narrowed to a particular focus for the thesis or dissertation. Then further research is conducted to gather together all the relevant work that has been done in the past by others. 5 Chapters – A thesis or dissertation is usually organized in 5 sections: • Chapter 1: Introduction – State your theme and problem, and what your paper accomplishes. • Chapter 2: Literature Review – Outline and evaluate the pre-existing work on your subject. • Chapter 3: Methodology – Introduce the methods you used in your own work on this subject. • Chapter 4: Data Analysis – State the impact your research and work have on the subject, and how you used the methods set forth in Chapter 3. • Chapter 5: Conclusion – Using the work you have done, address the problem you posed in Chapter 1, and consider the implications of your results
Experimentation – Writing a thesis or dissertation isn’t just about research and interpretation. When you are attempting to add something new to your field of study, rather than simply interpret the existing work, you need to conduct experiments. Surveys/questionnaires – Any thesis or dissertation which deals with social sciences or people-centric fields benefits from an extensive survey or questionnaire. Conferring with professors – Throughout the process of writing a thesis or dissertation, it’s wise to continually meet with your professors. They can lend you their experience and wisdom – and be a lot of help in shaping your ideas. Revision and consultation – The final step of writing a thesis or dissertation is an evaluation and revision process conducted with your supervisor. Your supervisor will suggest changes that may send you as far back as the research stage. Defending the document – Once you are finished writing, and your work is approved, there is one final step. Now you have to stand up before a panel of professors and defend your work. A thesis or dissertation defence usually consists of a short presentation of your work, followed by a longer session of questions and answers.
What is the cost of writing a thesis or dissertation? • Writing your graduate paper is a costly affair. According to Gordon Davis and Clyde Parker, who wrote Writing the Doctoral Dissertation: a Systematic Approach, the entire process takes the average graduate student about 15, good, solid working months. But for some, it can take over 2 years! • The typical bare minimum cost of living for a North American grad student is approximately $2000/month. That’s about as much as the average Bachelor’s degree holder nets working full time, and it’s not easy to earn a graduate degree when you have a full time job. • So if you aren’t working full-time because you are focused on your studies, and you take 15 months to write your thesis or dissertation, it will cost about $30,000 – money that you could have been making, instead of spending.
