Overcoming the Fear Abounding Dissertation Writing

Undoubtedly, dissertation writing is not a very pleasant task to handle. It involves lot of hard work, extensive research and meaningful writing to create a paper of premium quality. Do you feel intimidated that you have to write a lengthy dissertation paper spread over 70 to 100 pages? This feeling is quite normal. Most of the students who don’t have previous experience of dissertation writing, react the same way. In such circumstances, the first thing that you have got to do is to analyze the gravity of the problem (that of writing a dissertation paper of quality) and then to overcome the fear which, psychologically speaking, retards all your discerning faculties and projects the problem as humongous and unsurpassable.

Remember that there is nothing impossible in the realm of education. After all, hundreds of thousands of students are able to complete their dissertations and win over their degrees each year. If they can do it, there is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do it.

Try to analyze the problems dispassionately. Think calmly and quietly. Attend to each problem as it spurs up in your mind. For example : Do you speak English as your second language? Is your vocabulary satisfactory? Is your Grammar weak? Are you shy? Do you feel at ease while communicating with people inside and outside the college premises? Do you have any experience of collecting information for research from different sources? What are those different sources?  If you analyze each problem sincerely and cool-heartedly, you will come up with possible solutions, one by one. You will note that with each solution hitting the problem list, your fear factor will gradually diminish until it vanishes completely. That is the point when you will feel confident to begin your gigantic task of dissertation writing.

The next step will be to dig out various  sources for collecting relevant material for your dissertation paper. Books, Periodicals, Magazines, Encyclopedias, etc., from the college/university library should be the first to be explored for in-depth research. Discussions with friends and seniors will also get you some useful ideas to extend the area of your research. Last but not the least, your supervisor will, certainly, be able to guide you on various aspects of your dissertation paper. Make sure to get the format and citation style of your paper duly approved by him/her.

Please note that it is your own determination, persistence and perseverance that will enable you to cross the hurdles and to produce a quality dissertation for winning over your well-deserved degree.
