When to start master thesis
5 Tips For Surviving Your Master Thesis
okay so first thing what is the thesis
that's a little good question because I
have no idea how this was gonna work so
a thesis is the culmination of
everything you do while you're studying
your master's program so you have a one
product that you have to do from
beginning to end they give you some time
to do it and you need to do all the
research you need to just pump in
everything that you learn in a master's
program and submit something that is
gonna be new relevant and it's going to
just create new knowledge for the field
of your study pretty much so now we have
the dips that you need to survive the
masterpieces yeah please start now tip
number five take beaker breaks and I
mean yet season is filled with speaker
bricks but these stress don't let the
thesis get the best of you right go take
a long walk in the park go to the gym
what else did you do what I can tell you
is that you need to relax a little bit
because what Sunday's tell you is
totally true you need to just stay some
time relax
these can be really stressful but don't
let it get you because you will be able
to work if you're just too stressed and
also you're supposed to be doing this a
little bit so step back looking to to
feel and see what what are the topics
that you want to talk about what do you
want to research because you won't have
the time to do this in the future did
not report you need to make the most out
of the time with your supervisor so this
is the person who's going to help you
you just guide you through the whole
process so what you need to do is please
make the most of this time because that
person has all the criteria the people
we use to evaluate your process so bring
as much as you can through every
supervision just
don't take it as a moment you go and
talk about improving in general and
bring some specific things things that
they will just base your project on one
human once you present it because that's
gonna be really important so for example
with my supervisor what I did was before
we were meeting or two days before the
meeting I had a lot of questions yeah so
I prepared the question and I mean I
asked some of the questions to my
friends and my colleagues so I could
just shorten the number of questions I
had so by the time I met with my
supervisor the meeting was productive
and efficient and it went really good so
much so that at the end of my project I
had a lot more time left to the
supervisor so we were just you know
emailing casually and just talking about
the whole project so use your time
wisely
number three talk to your classmates
talk to your colleagues I mean it's good
to have a peer review before the peer
review you know they might know someone
who knows someone who knows someone in
your field and really can give you a
good connection to help you with your
thesis talk to your classmates
yes what I have is that I had some
roadblocks in which I didn't know what
to do but my classmates had the best
ideas they had the comments with people
who have the skills that I needed to
just move my my project forward and it's
also a good balancing point because you
know how they are doing versus how
you're doing so sometimes
it's nice to know that other people are
stressed do you feel that stress q like
okay no how are you deep number two is
how clear skin that means knowing where
you're gonna submit and how you're gonna
schedule all the work including great
time like the weekend off not doing any
schoolwork that's really important
because you need to have a life as well
so the schedule is not only about how
much I'm going to work with having them
I'm gonna balance my life yeah with this
product in it so it's a lot of freedom
in a thesis project because you're
supposed to be just managing everything
you're your own boss see here soon as
you have your own at work anything you
do and it's supposed to be around 40
hours per week so you need to schedule
when you're good to do what and work
towards like maybe deadlines help me I
set some deadlines and set some goals
and when you accomplish these little
goals you feel very nice you're like
yeah I'm finished with the introduction
behave the methods and you get some more
free time as you can see every move
every time and tip number one is to find
a relevant topic now before you even
come to Sweden to study I think you
should start thinking about a topic
because it's very hard to find that
unique topic to your program you might
get depressed when you're near to the
project and you find that everything has
been researched but that's not the case
there's many things and many I'm
you need to come up with so many topics
you can research so start searching
early before you concede exactly that's
a really good tip so now you know how to
survive your thesis project yeah
so good luck actually have some extra
tips for you okay just what you like and
the like what you choose choose what
your life is the motivation you can
continue this project and the like what
your juices become the engagements that
you can continue on to the end of this
project this is really important because
the process never be easy so keep your
mind of initial ideas yes if you are
working on pairs or teams choose your
teammates carefully a good advice is to
find an organization you like and work
with them for your cities they can help
you find in real problems and help you
in collecting the data free research
also your research can be a good
competition for them
