I could understand about tips for writing thesis, especially, structure and contents which I should include in this thesis.
Summary: Should Include the Contents in Thesis
Keep Objective Style
Following Harvard Style: https://www.citethemrightonline.com/
1 Objective (Planning & Topic Selection)
- Select a Topic: Choose a motivating topic with potential impact that meets your assignment’s learning outcomes.
- Define your Target: Clearly identify your Audience (who will read it) and Purpose (what you want them to know).
- Plan the Research: Read the brief, break your thesis into logically ordered main questions and sub-questions, and plan your investigation.
2 Structuring the Thesis
Establish a working title and use the following 5-part structure:
- Introduction: State the main issue, the topic being investigated, and the report’s purpose.
- Methodology: Explain your chosen research methods, why you selected them, and how you applied them.
- Literature Review: Critically evaluate the existing sources and literature that inform your research.
- Investigation: Present your main discussion, options, and findings based on evidence (use citations and sub-headings).
- Conclusions: Provide final takeaways or recommendations for your audience based on your findings.
Key Guidelines for Thesis & FMP
- Sources: Use and properly cite academically recognized sources (books, media, etc.).
- Practical Project (FMP): Base your project on your career goals. Decide how to exhibit it and whether it connects directly to your written thesis.
- Format: Choose an approach (experimental or commercial) and a medium (screen, installation, interactive, AR, games, etc.).
- Research Value: Define your audience. Clearly state why your research is original, important, and how it advances existing knowledge.
- Assessment Focus: You will be graded on deep research (Enquiry), skill synthesis (Knowledge), experimentation (Process), clear articulation (Communication), and professional quality (Realisation).
