One of the most common faults examiners find with the thesis is
that it doesn't seem to have a main argument. In other words,
the thesis doesn't have a thesis. Examiners say
that many theses look like a collection of free-standing sections,
not a purposeful, unified whole.
If you see the parts separately, then you will write them as separate entities, and the reader will perceive them like this.
- If you conceptualise your thesis as something that has to answer
a vital question;
- If you write in a way that shows how your research and its aims
further the research already done and what your work adds to the body of knowledge;
- If you show that the method you use to answer the question is
the best possible to achieve your aims;
- If you use your results to support the solution you propose;
- And if at the end you again can demonstrate its significance and
the contribution of research to the field,
Then you will write a unified thesis!
