Do You Wanna Write A Thesis?
15 Nov 2015 tagged inI am by no means an authority on the subject of an undergrad thesis. That’s exactly why I’m starting this next series of posts. I’m documenting this project as a reverse guide to myself – for when I try to do this again for my MA.
I feel like there are a lot of ‘firsts’ that I’ve been through in undertaking this assignment – not because I didn’t have people to ask, but because it’s hard to find & connect with people who are going through the same stages. Often times, these questions seemed like stupidly obvious ones, but still ones that needed to be answered. A lot of the tutorials out there are made for grad students, who already have a leg up in some sense and have been through the motions of this before. I was looking for square one – simple answers for simple questions.
In the next couple weeks, I hope you’ll join me on my thesis adventure as I cover the basics of research. I’m writing similar issues on another blog, and so I’ll share those links here too. Mostly, I want to be able to document my thesis process in multiple ways – the questions I’ve had being a key component of that process.
Note: For those of you who have followed my work for a long time, you’ll have noticed I shifted from Tumblr to WordPress for this work. While I still have Tumblr for personal use I feel it’s not the best platform for what I want to do in an academic sense. I’m not a huge fan of WordPress, but it’s better suited for this kind of blogging.
