I know that when we talk about a dissertation plan, we imply a plan of the dissertation itself. I mean a dissertation plan should contain the chapters of your work, reference list, list of figures and so on. Still, in this article we are going to talk about a bit different dissertation plan.
As for me, at the very beginning of your work it is necessary to make a plan of the process. You need to have a clear idea of all the steps that you will need to take to write a dissertation. This allows you to understand what you have already done, whether you have done it successfully and what else is needed to complete the work. So, this is a dissertation plan that we are going to discuss.
Mainly, such a dissertation plan will concern time management. The thing is that many students cannot realize fully how much time they may need to write a dissertation. Below you will find an approximate dissertation plan that you can make.
- Total size of your work – 200 pages
- Time needed to write a dissertation – 1 year
- Monthly schedule for your work:
- Choosing a topic and making a proposal – 1 month
- Collecting materials, making research - 4 months
- Studying the materials, making an analysis – 4 months
- Writing a dissertation, editing – 3 months
This is an approximate dissertation plan. It gives you a clear picture of what you need to do and how much time each step will take. If you want, every item of your dissertation plan can have sub-items, which will contain some details.
From my point of view, such dissertation plan of your work will facilitate writing a dissertation significantly.
