Overview
The thesis or dissertation is the beginning of the academic life of a student researcher. Hence, the topic is central to his research as it is what he will be working on for several years and it must therefore make him want to get up every morning and sometimes spend nights on it in order to finish a presentation or an article…Not to forgot that a student researcher is still learning. This means that he still have a lot of things to discover, methods to perfect and to take all of these elements into consideration when choosing your research topic.
Ideally, the research topic should serve his academic path, take on meaning within the framework of his internship, but also be linked to his professional project. Hence choosing carefully the research topic is essential as sometimes it turns out to be an agonizing and demoralizing task.
This online webinar will help researchers making right decisions on choosing their research topic. The following points will be tackled:
- Identification of the topic: important requirements
- Identification of research field.
- Identification of research type
- Identification of research feasibility
