Hey guys,
Going into my final year in September. (Finally!)
Basically was just wondering if any of you guys have any hints and tips that would be useful going heading into the last year of college, and in particular what does/will the thesis involve and do you guys have any recommendations in how to approach it??
(Is a thesis the same as a dissertation?)
What is the format like? For example is the document broken down into different pieces you do individually or do you treat it as one whole doc?
What are good ideas in deciding a good title and your areas of research?
I heard you get assigned a lecturer to guide you, is this true?
Do you go to classes and do exams in the same format as 1st to 3rd year?
Basically, is there anything I should be aware of that I might not be, or is there anything you guys think might be useful in preparing and completing the final year?
In typical DIT fashion we haven't been given any specific information in what to expect. At the end of last year I asked and was told' "Just think of idea's that you would like to research" and that was basically it... which I found quite vague....
Thanks,
Dork.
