Tip

When you read the literature and research articles, it is good practice to write a summary paragraph (200 words) with some bullet points when you complete the reading. The collected summary will be helpful to write this chapter.

It is also good practice to write this chapter (first draft) along with your literature review.

While reading literature (journal articles), keep attention on sentence structure, grammar, how different sections of the articles are written, what type of figures are used, how abstract and conclusion are written. All this information will help you for the thesis writing. Reading literature gives practice and knowledge for own writing.

At some point when you are toward the end of your writing, remove yourself from your work and free-write to these questions:

  • So, what have I found -- and why does it matter?
  • What do I know now, that I didn’t know before?
  • Who cares? / Who should care?
  • What do I know that no one else knows?
  • Is the conclusion answered the goal and objectives?

You can also think of following points.

  • Does this sentence really meaningful and convey intended meaning? Can this be written in better way?
  • Is this paragraph connected to the previous paragraph?
  • Am i talking completely different from the results and discussion? Does this really make sense?
  • Are the findings contradicting each other?
  • Is English grammar good enough or can other word/phrase is better than this?
