Hey there 3rd year Bioscience students! Here are 5 tips to help you do your best in your dissertation/ research project. You’ve got this!
-
Pick a topic you are very interested in, you should enjoy it!
-
Select a well-researched topic to ensure a wealth of information for your introduction and discussion sections.
-
Start by brainstorming the general topics you need to research. Read some related articles to get familiar with your research question. Once you have a clear idea of the direction you want to take, explore more specific topics related to your question.
-
Before you start writing, organise the main sections into sub-sections using Microsoft Word headers. This ensures a clear structure and ensures the content flows smoothly. These headers will automatically appear in the table of contents so you do not have to stress about it later!
-
Determine the word count for each section based on its percentage weightage. This gives you a clear idea of the expected length for each section.
I hope these tips are useful!
