A thesis is a document which is submitted by a student for a given academic or professional qualification. Most of the time a thesis is used in the academic field and it presents the research findings of the author from a research that has been done before. A thesis must always have a title page, in which the author’s name and date is given. The thesis must also have an abstract, which is a brief description of what the write up is all about.
The body of the thesis comprises the main content of the research paper, and it contains the different chapters. The last section of the body of a thesis is the conclusion section, which gives a summary of all the chapters contained in the paper. The thesis must also have a bibliography, which consists of all the references that have been used in the paper, with their names, the dates of publication and the publishers. There may be variants in the structure of the paper depending on the subject, but the above breakdown is the most common structure of a thesis.
To earn more points, the author of the paper should be sure to use proper grammar and concrete sentences. He/she should also prove that he/she has a clear understanding of the topic that is being addressed. Good research skills are also a bonus to the paper as this is what will give the marker of the paper confidence author’s work, and hence the ability to earn more points.
