How to Choose a thesis Topic

By admin | July 30, 2008

A thesis topic should arise from your own interests and energies. Your first step toward selecting a thesis topic is to define your basic fields of interest. The role of introspection in this process must be censorious.

You need to examine your last work in the Mythology and Folklore program and your special area and try to find several general fields of interest. Meditate on why you wanted to focus on Mythology and Folklore. When you weigh these and other questions, you will start to discriminate certain trends and patterns in your work. Thought of these items will let you determine your general fields of interest.

Locating a thesis topic within a field of interest is much harder. A theme is best worded as a question. And the questions are too narrow, for a theme must have focus. Nor cannot it be too broad as the target of a good work is to state concepts of general significance via minute analysis of a particular case.

For the target of the process is to phrase a thought-provoking and focused question, the perfect way to uncover themes in your field of interest is to start offering questions. Begin from the thoughts that are conspicuous in your mind. Read scholarly literature on approaches that you might take. When your theme looks too wide, this reading will offer you some thoughts on approaches that you might take. When your question is very narrow, an assortment of books and articles can guide you to the common concerns, which concern your interest. Remember that an undergraduate thesis should not be the “contribution to knowledge.” It is more important to make the sustained investigation of a theme that engages you.

Deciding on the Thesis Topics

By admin | July 17, 2008

Choosing the thesis topics is the first big challenge of writing a thesis. It is hard not only to make the right decision on the thesis topics. It is also important to choose something in the interest for you and that will be not so tricky to cover.

Below we will describe approximately the process of choosing the thesis topics.

•    So, you have to think of the topic that interests and challenges you. What is more, you have to think how much time and efforts it will take you to disclose this topic.
•    The next step that you have to take is narrowing topic down. It should be something like that “Religion”, “Eastern Religion”, “Hinduism”. Narrowing down the topic is important, since it will influence the time and efforts you will need.
•    After that, you have to discuss the topic with your advisor. In other words, you need to get his/her approval of the chosen topic. Besides, you will get the helpful recommendations on the ways to disclose it, on the useful materials, on the possible difficulties and so on.
•    Talking to your advisor will also help you to understand whether this person will be really helpful in the course of writing your project. The help from this person is significant. If he/she is an expert in some other field, it is better to change the advisor.

The final advice is – do not choose the brand new topics or those topics that you have never dealt with. You have a risk to waste your time on research that will have no results.

Thesis Topics – Take it Seriously

By admin | July 12, 2008

It is difficult to say which part of a thesis writing process is the most difficult. Probably, every young scholar will give his/her own definition of the hardest stage of this process. Still, I think that you will not find a scholar, who would regard choosing the thesis topics easy.

The choice of the thesis topics is the very beginning of the whole matter. And this beginning is going to be challenging. There are so many factors that should influence the choice of the thesis topics. If you miss even one of them, you may have a lot of problems further.

For instance, you have used the advice of your supervisor and have chosen the topic, which somewhat does not coincide with your interests. What do you think will happen next? I can give you the possible description of your nearest future.

You start looking for the materials. Say, you do not have many problems with this part of your work. But as you begin to study all that stuff, you realize that there is nothing interesting about this topic. What is more, you cannot get fully the sense of all those articles and books.

What happens next is all these materials are driving you mad. You become nervous and a little bit paranoid. Besides, you feel that the topic of your project arouses a slight disgust. Yet, it is only the beginning. In a few months you will hate the topic, you will hate your advisor and the whole undertaking.

I guess you do not want this situation happen to you. Thus, take seriously the choice of the thesis topic.
