Crafting Your Thesis
At the beginning of writing a thesis, many questions arise, for example: • How do I know that I have formulated a relevant research problem? • Have I chosen the right empirical method? • Are interviews or observations appropriate? • How should I structure my text to get my point across in the best way? • What exactly is a theory? • How can the quality of my work be assessed?
