Graduation Thesis

Course Description:

In our Thesis course, students will receive comprehensive guidance on how to conduct and write a research paper at a significant academic level. The course aims to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to plan, structure, and execute a research project in alignment with academic standards and expectations.

Throughout the course, students will learn how to develop a clear research plan and structure, including writing a comprehensive abstract that summarizes the purpose, significance, and expected findings of their research. They will also learn to articulate research questions, objectives, and methodology in the introduction section, as well as conduct a thorough literature review to contextualize their research within existing scholarship and identify areas for further investigation.

Students will delve into designing a robust methodology, outlining data collection and analysis techniques while ensuring reliability, validity, and ethical considerations. They will then implement their chosen research methods effectively, analyzing and interpreting findings accurately to draw meaningful conclusions and discuss implications for theory and practice.

In addition to writing a coherent and well-organized thesis document following academic formatting and citation guidelines, students will learn how to present their research findings orally, demonstrating effective communication skills and the ability to defend their work in scholarly contexts. They will also reflect on the strengths and limitations of their research process, making recommendations for future studies in their field of inquiry.
