4 Thesis Must-Do's

1. You must know your department’s thesis policies.: Assumptions make an --- out of u and me. Know the expected responsibilities of the supervisor and the student. It may save you a lot of frustration.
2. You must address procrastination.: This is usually the biggest problem, so break the project into manageable parts, and focus on finishing one task at a time.
3. You must find at least one sounding board.: You'll find it unbelievably helpful to have someone to bounce ideas off, challenge your assumptions, and read drafts.
4. You must keep it in perspective.: Your thesis is important, but it isn’t the be all and end all of who you are. Ten years from now you will disagree with parts of it.
