A thesis or a project is independent research conducted by a student in order to get a Master’s degree. It is a serious undertaking that helps students demonstrate skills in investigating, analyzing materials, developing their personal point of view on a subject, and so on.
 
If you want to prepare a successful thesis or project, pay attention to the information presented in this article.
 
The main difference between a thesis and a project is as follows:

1. A thesis describes a process and presents the results of the work done;
2. A project is a product in a certain field.

However, in spite of such difference, steps and requirements for writing a thesis and project are the same.
 
The major thing for thesis/project writing is the necessity of planning. Students usually have one academic year to complete their thesis/project.
 
In order to meet all the deadlines and not to fail a thesis/project, students need to follow such plan:

• Arrange meetings with a thesis/project supervisor and discuss available topics;
• Establish the deadlines with the Committee;
• Get your thesis/project approved;
• Follow the format requirements (use the Theses and Project Guide);
• Make an outline of your project/thesis;
• Submit first drafts.

All theses and projects should stick to several general writing requirements. A student should:

• Write in Standard English

.

• Avoid the use of slashes (he/she he or she)
• Edit and proofread the final version

A student should not:

1. Mix verb tenses within one paragraph
2. Use second person at all
