Experience to have a successful graduation thesis

After passing the hard-working university years, you will come to the final stage: Graduation Thesis. This is
a very good opportunity for the students to get acquainted, to practice research, to learn how to do a
scientific project, to apply all the knowledge they have learned to the implementation of a specific topic.
Doing a thesis also means working hard for several months, but what you get will be a worthy result for
what you put in. The following steps will help you:
1. Find a topic
When students found out that they are on the list of students who are allowed to do the graduation
projects, some people are startled because they don’t know which topic to choose. The topic of the
student's graduation thesis can be suggested by the faculty or subject, but it can also be proposed by the
student. Either way, you have to be prepared with ideas about issues you're interested in. These ideas can
be formed in the second and third years, so that you can consciously search for documents and read related
articles, so you will be less confused when standing in front of a series of topics.
2. Implement the topic
First of all, you should take the time to read. Why? You need to read documents, works, articles directly and
indirectly related to the topic, to know where the forerunners have exploited the problem, what results have
been achieved, what is still left. What has not been mentioned or has not been adequately addressed. That
way you will be able to visualize what you do and not repeat what others have done. With this, you begin to
form an outline to discuss with your instructor. You also need to know that all of these readings will help you
write a history of the problem, which is located in the introduction of the thesis.
After discussing with the instructor and receiving suggestions and suggestions from him/her, you have a
detailed outline of the thesis in hand. This outline may also change: narrowing or expanding, depending on
the source of materials and the results of the literature survey during the implementation. This is a common
occurrence.
The general structure of a graduate thesis is composed of three parts: Introduction, Chapters, Conclusion.
As you progress, many of you will start writing the Introduction first.
No problem. But do you know that you don't need to start with the Prologue? By the time you have finished
the main chapters of your thesis, it is not too late to write the Introduction, that is to say, it is a wise course
of action, because you will describe more accurately what the thesis has done, the thesis results have been
achieved.
Don't be afraid to contact your instructor. Be brave enough to let your teacher know what you don't know,
don't understand, or are embarrassed about. Don't keep your worries in your heart, don't hide your
ignorance. Because it's the first time doing research, so many things are new, so you can understand right
away that everything is… not normal. Learn sincerely, with a demanding attitude, the teacher will show you
where to start, how to get the material, how to handle it. Meticulous, step by step. Teachers are guides! But

you also remember to try your best, be self-disciplined and take the initiative to work, don't rely on it. It is
you who do the work, no one else.
3. Thesis presentation of the thesis
You don't have to wonder how to present your thesis, because you already have a guide to presenting the
format of your thesis provided by your university or faculty. From the presentation of the cover page, the
inner cover page, the font, the font size, etc., to the principles of line spacing, alignment, page numbering,
captions, etc., every detail is clearly indicated. A thesis with a standard presentation format always captures
the reader's heart right from the first page. Be sure to double-check each page to make sure there are no
spelling, grammar, or expression errors… Those “little things” can cost you a lot of points.
4. Presenting before the board
After many hard days, you now have your graduation project in hand to submit to the jury. The anxiety has
subsided, but there is still one final hurdle to overcome. How to have a successful defense session?
- Prepare carefully
- Be confident
- Speak fluently
- Present the project and emphasize on the survey’s results
- Answer the questions persuasively
