Submission of a dissertation is not enough; with the
increasing challenges professors demand a well written dissertation with no
traces of error. Even if you put in all
the effort to make your academic journey a recommendable one students who fail
to produce a quality dissertation will either have to repeat the semester or
adjust themselves with the average marks they get. It is estimated that yearly
thousands of dissertations are returned back or cancelled due to common
mistakes that students make. But what are the most common errors students make
without realizing they are making an error.
For every piece of writing, selection of the topic is
highly significant. There are certain topics which can produce more interesting
content. The reader is always expected to come across something new and
distinguished. If you select a topic which is really common and has countless
papers and proposal, your subject would not be acknowledged; unless you include
some highly distinguished data to drag the interest of the reader to the
content. With a weak selection of the dissertation writing topic students would
fail to influence their professors hence ending up with poor score.
Another common dissertation writing mistake committed by
scholars is demonstration of the act of plagiarism i.e. copy and paste. Possessing
poor knowledge of the topic leads the students to copy the content and the
student is unable to produce genuine and authentic work. Submission of
unauthentic and copied work can land any student into great trouble. Plagiarism
submitted work can lead your dissertation towards cancellation. Only quotations
can be copied as it is. When you need to
quote somebody or give reference from a source, you cannot simply duplicate the
whole content and glue it, unless you do so in quotes and with legitimate
reference. Students think the checkers would not know that the content is been
copied but this perception is really wrong as genuine work has its own charm
and appeal. Simultaneously, it is highly
important to include statements which are properly referenced and supported.
Traces of vagueness in your dissertation can lead the reader to lose interest.
Lack of coherency is another common dissertation writing
mistake witnessed by the professors. When you start writing there will be
different ideas occupying your mind however, it is highly important to have a
connection and smooth flow in your dissertation. All the content mentioned
should be linked to each other. Every arguments presented should be logical and
consistent. Each paragraph should be connected to each other and the reader
should not feel lost while reading the content.
By adopting the simple strategies these errors can be
omitted and the scholars can produce a masterpiece.
