ABSTRACT
One of the final things a student needs to do is write their Abstract and Acknowledgements. The Abstract is an important piece of work as it is one of the first things an examiner will look at. The Acknowledgements are also an important part of the student’s text as they can reveal a lot about disciplinary membership and networks at the same time as showing gratitude to the people that have helped the student in the pursuit of their studies. This chapter provides suggestions for how to structure thesis and dissertation Abstracts and Acknowledgements. Examples of Abstracts and Acknowledgements are included for students to analyse.
