The steps in graduation paper writing

The common steps that can be identified through the process of writing a graduation paper are as follows:

Identifying a research problem– such step in graduation papers implies asking questions regarding an identified problem, considering the feasibility of them being answered.

A literature review - A review of literature will indicate the gaps in specific knowledge in the selected field. It should be highlighted that in terms of division to sections, it can be stated that the literature review is one of the largest sections in graduation papers, serving two purposes, i.e. demonstrating the accumulated knowledge and identifying the gaps in it.

Formulating a hypothesis– basically, hypotheses are the assumptions made through the preliminary investigation. One or more are selected as the basis of the graduation paper, and which are tested in the study.

Data collection – according to the established hypothesis, the type of data to be collected will be determined. At the same time, the nature of the requested data will require assessing the most effective methods of its collection, e.g. quantitative or qualitative data. Accordingly, several aspects should be determined in graduation papers such as the samples, the body of data, and the appropriate method of data measurement.

The "thinking about it stage" is when you are finally faced with the reality of completing your MA degree. Usually the early phases of a graduate program proceed in clear and very structured ways. The beginning phases of a graduate program proceed in much the same manner as an undergraduate degree program. There are clear requirements and expectations, and the graduate student moves along, step by step, getting ever closer to the completion of the program.

One day, however, the clear structure begins to diminish and now you're approaching the graduation paper stage. This is a new and different time. These next steps are more and more defined by youand not your adviser, the program, or the department.

Be realistic about the time that you're willing to commit to your research project. If it's a 1 year project that you're thinking about admit it at the beginning and then decide whether or not you have 1 year to give to it. If the project you'd like to do is going to demand more time than you're willing to commit then you have a problem.

Research proposal.Assuming you've done a good job of "thinking about" your research project, you're ready to actually prepare the proposal. A word of caution - those students who tend to have a problem in coming up with a viable proposal often are the ones that have tried to rush throughthe "thinking about it" part and move too quickly to trying to write the proposal. Here's a final check. Do each of these statements describe you? If they do you're ready to prepare your research proposal.

I am familiarwith other research that has been conducted in areas related to my research project.

(___Yes, it's me)

(___No, not me)

I have a clear understandingof the steps that I will use in conducting my research.

(___Yes, it's me)

(___No, not me)

I feel that I have the ability to get through each of the steps necessary to complete my research project.

(___Yes, it's me)

(___No, not me)

I know that I am motivated and have the drive to get through all of the steps in the research project.

(___Yes, it's me)

(___No, not me)
