Telling a cohesive story line in Final Year Project Paper

Story line for thesis cannot be determined until data is analyzed. Literature review leads us to a tentative story line, but data may tell a different story. When that happens, we will then need to decide which story is more interesting to highlight in thesis.

Creating a cohesive story is not a task that can be done within short period of time. It requires constant revision on the thesis draft. Students therefore are advised to prepare full chapter draft as early as possible (at least 4 weeks before submission day), so that at least three rounds of revision can be done by student and supervisor. The more rounds of revision, the more interesting the story line become.

Students, looking forward to listening great stories from you at FYP seminar on May 20, 2013.

Happy writing, you are more capable then you think you are!
