ABSTRACT

This chapter has been written to help you with ideas and strategies for planning your dissertation most effectively. Often the dissertation involves many months of work, and it is important that you manage your time and schedule effectively. The dissertation is usually an extended piece of work that requires good organizational and time-management skills to complete to a high standard. Unsurprisingly, because of competing demands on time, many students do not always devise and follow a structured work schedule, which can have implications for the quality of work produced, not to mention your stress levels.
