Modern technology has definitely makes the process of dissertation writing and dissertation editing easier with the word processor. Dissertation editing needs time, but the result is worth every second you waste.
How Long Should A Good Dissertation Take?
Most of the time academics confuse time with quality. When a project takes a long time, it's almost always believed to be more valuable than one completed more quickly. While this is common belief, it is incorrect.
Most dissertations can be completed in a year or less, with two exceptions. The first is when your study will require data collection or longitudinal research over a long period of time. For example, if your research design requires observation over a two year period, you won't be able to complete the dissertation in a year or less.
The second is if you do not work consistently on your dissertation. Likewise, you can not expect to work on the dissertation in a random manner and believe you'll finish quickly.
Dissertation Editing
While dissertation editing may seems to most a tedious and time-consuming, there some tips one can follow to ensure an effective dissertation editing process.
- Sift through your dissertation with a critical eye.
- Strength of the dissertation - Can this material be expanded into a book? Will this material add value to existing material in your field of study?
- Determine the weak material in it - What should be revised or perhaps deleted? You have to determine what filler is and discard everything that will not support the central idea of your book.
- What additional material should be put in - Do you have only one chapter that is useable? Is half of your dissertation useable? Is there a flow of ideas that support your thesis or is there a missing link? Will you have to do more research for certain chapters?
- Check the format - Ensure that your bibliography, title and other critical parts of dissertation correspond with the academic style you were required to use. A lot of students skip this part while editing a dissertation and then lose points just because of their lack of patience.
