- 2. Aims and Objectives of Dissertation Formulation of aims and objectives of your Dissertation, Dissertation or any other type of research work in an appropriate manner is the most important aspect because it determines the following main aspects of your research work namely: 1. The scope of the Dissertation 2. The depth of the Dissertation 3. The overall direction of the research Choosing the topic too broadly or choosing unrealistic aims and objectives might bring your Dissertation to a halt. Writekraft helps you design realistic and specific objectives that are relevant to your research field and eventually helps you to get approval for your Dissertation, Synopsis or Research work. Hypothesis The entire Dissertation revolves around the research Hypothesis so making a mistake here could ruin the whole research work. Needless to say, it can all be a little intimidating, and many students find this to be the most difficult stage of their Dissertation work. A good Hypothesis has the following three main features: 1. It clearly identifies the question being studied in Dissertation. 2. It is an educated, testable prediction about the results. 3.

Writekraft provides you with a promising Hypothesis by following the steps of the scientific process by finding an area of research and potential research problem and creating a testable Hypothesis. We ensure that we are asking the right questions and wording your Hypothesis statements correctly. Literature Review The Literature Review mostly appears near the start of your Dissertation (after the Introduction chapter) and is a key part of your overall structure. It is a summary of the current writings in the field you are researching and into which your will eventually fit. Rather than simply a list of different writers in the field and their opinions, your Literature Review should give a clear idea of the whole field as it currently stands, describing different bodies of literature, providing varying standpoints on the important issues, and indicating where general opinions have recently changed or are currently being challenged. It must provide a critique of each work, not simply a summary of the books and articles to which you refer. Major problems faced by students while designing literature are: 1. Shortage of time to read and evaluate every word available on your topic (but in the Literature Review you have aim to demonstrate wide reading). 2. Structuring the Literature Review properly. 3. Difficulty to find authoritative works written by experts. 4. Referencing and citing each work. 5. Creating a conceptual framework. Writekraft helps you in writing Literature Review in the following manner: 1. We will clearly define a Topic and Audience and find most relevant article by Searching and Re-searching the Literature. 2. We will identify the Type of Review You Wish to Write and will Keep the Review Focused, but Make It of Broad Interest. 3. By creating a Logical Structure we will make the review Critical and Consistent. 4. The Review will be including both recent as well as Older Studies. Apart from that we ensure the Use of Feedback provided by our network of research students. We also make use of any research published by you in the similar field. Research Methodology The design is the structure of any scientific work. It gives direction and systematizes the research. The method you choose will affect your results and how you conclude the findings. Writekraft helps you in designing your research methodology section by clearing answering two fundamental questions:

When considering research involving human participant there are many ethical issues.
