How to Write an A+ Dissertation in a Day: 5 straight-to-the-point Tips to Consider
Ooh, NO!
Attempting to write
a good dissertation within a 24-hour day is like trying to climb Mount Everest in
flip-flops—it's not recommended.
Writing a top-notch
dissertation requires a considerable amount of time, effort and dedication. But,
if you're staring down the barrel of a looming deadline and feeling the pressure,
don't lose hope just yet! Consider the following 5 straight-to-the-point tips, on
writing an impressive dissertation, even if you’re racing against the clock.
The 5 Tips to Writing
an A+ Dissertation
1. Allocate your Time
Divide your time
into manageable slots and assign specific time slots for research, writing, and
editing. Take short breaks to ensure you avoid burnout and stay focused.
2. Focus on the Essentials
The most crucial
sections of your dissertation, such as the introduction, literature review, methodology, results, and conclusion form the backbone of your
dissertation. Focus and deal with these sections first.
3. Stay Organized
Keep all your notes,
data, and drafts organized in one place. Use headings and subheadings to
organize your thoughts and keep your writing clear and concise.
4. Prioritize your Research
Focus on the most
important and relevant sources of information for your dissertation. Avoid
spending too much time on sources that aren’t directly relevant to your topic.
5. Write first, Edit later
Start by writing a
rough draft of your dissertation, focusing on getting ideas down, without
worrying too much about formatting. Once you have a complete draft, edit and revise
it for clarity, accuracy, and style.
REMEMBER, unlike
writing a 3-page research proposal, crafting a good dissertation in a single day is as good as
attempting an impossibility. That said, when writing a dissertation against a
close deadline, it's important to manage your expectations and prioritize the
most important sections. It's also important to seek feedback from your colleagues
and supervisor to ensure that your work is of high quality.
