Thesis Plans

Okay…so the proposal for my thesis paper is…a lot longer than I had thought it was. That’s okay, because I still have the rest of this month to do it. Granted, that includes compiling literature on the topic, describing my thesis adequately, preparing the survey in full for approval, submitting my list of subjects to be interviewed, and probably a number of other things that are included in the list of things I need to do for my proposal. (I’m not directly referencing all of them right here, just giving a review of what I need to do)

So for this month (Or rather, next month), my goals are the following – Describe my thesis as best I can and in such a way that the college will probably approve of my project. After doing so, begin sending out to my “contacts” for people who I can send surveys to for this thesis. Included in that survey, which I will write alongside asking for participants, will be a request for participation in interviews. Once the requests are sent out, my full review on the literature will begin, and all of the resources I have on the subject will be looked over and compiled into the literature review that the professors are requesting (which promises to be the largest part of the “proposal” that they’re asking for). With the literature review done, I’ll finish up the rest of the proposal sections with the remaining half of the month, in conjunction with beginning to send out the surveys.

Now if it starts to look like my “proposal” is going to take more effort and focus, I can put off the more complicated parts of my thesis writing until the proposal is complete. But at the moment, this is my basic plan.
