If you’re currently working on your thesis or dissertation, you should know that your work should be divided into several parts. Usually, the basic parts of a thesis include the introductory chapter, the dissertation chapter (literature review), another dissertation methodology chapter, discussion and the last “conclusion” chapter. To write stupendous dissertation chapters may seem a little bit difficult. One of the most common errors is when a student fails to properly arrange chapters in a dissertation. If you have any doubts regarding your work, why not to seek the help of professionals? Grademiners are glad to offer excellent online writing services and provide with a stunning dissertation chapter outline.

What Are the Chapters of a Dissertation?

Some dissertation writing guidelines suggest students to name different sections of their thesis as chapters. But there are other guidelines that ask students to leave the sections as they are. That means you may name the first part as Introduction, the second part as Literature Review and the last part as Methodology. You may consider your university writing guidelines to choose the method to name your specific chapter.

But What If We Take a Closer Look at Chapters in a Dissertation?

Let’s explore the contents of each part of your dissertation:

• Introduction. This part of your thesis goes after the initial abstract of your writing. The abstract may consist of a brief summary, which is usually placed at the end of the work to get all the info easily. The introduction of your dissertation has to show the main problem area of your dissertation’s statement. It will be awesome if you can write this statement in 3 sentences. It should be either a catchy argument or a claim that you have to prove in other chapters.
• The literature review chapter. This part should be the longest in your work. Students usually consider it the most boring and studious part. The writer has to do an extensive research of relevant writing related to the specific topic. It is also necessary to find and include a couple of reliable references such as online books, journals and articles. In this chapter you have to prove the dissertation/thesis statement with some valuable examples.
• Methodology part. The third methodology chapter should include details on the studies you’ve performed, the research methods, the utilization of dimensional tools and other specifications.
• Discussion part. In this chapter you may specify the uncovered research areas and speak on the outcome (is it expected or not).
• Conclusion. This is the last part of any dissertation, where the students have to summarize the whole writing and provide with some useful predictions.

Tips for Writing Your Thesis Statement

1. Determine what kind of paper you are writing:

• An analytical paper breaks down an issue or an idea into its component parts, evaluates the issue or idea, and presents this breakdown and evaluation to the audience.
• An expository (explanatory) paper explains something to the audience.
• An argumentative paper makes a claim about a topic and justifies this claim with specific evidence. The claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. The goal of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided.

If you are writing a text that does not fall under these three categories (e.g. a narrative), a thesis statement somewhere in the first paragraph could still be helpful to your reader.

2. Your thesis statement should be specificit should cover only what you will discuss in your paper and should be supported with specific evidence.

3. The thesis statement usually appears at the end of the first paragraph of a paper.

4. Your topic may change as you write, so you may need to revise your thesis statement to reflect exactly what you have discussed in the paper.

Example of an expository (explanatory) thesis statement:
