After the literature has been reviewed, and data have been collected and analyzed, you are at last ready to write the thesis.
William James has some excellent advice:
“Draft in haste; revise at leisure” (1890)
- Prepare a broad first effort as quickly and efficiently as possible, with the understanding that successful writing inevitably requires multiple revisions
- In addition to your own revisions, you are likely to encounter two types of revision requests:
-
Content-relevant revision requests from your Thesis Director
- Format-relevant revision requests from your Research Advisor
