- Set up a system for organizing your search results, citations, PDFs, primary sources, notes etc. using citation management tools (e.g. Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote) or other strategies. You can use these tools to create "in-text" citations and bibliographies or works cited lists as you write.
- Do a preliminary study of the literature related to your topics to understand previous research, key themes, issues, variables, methodologies, limitations, terminology, controversies, and gaps in the current research. Identify significant researchers and scholars working in the area. Consult a variety of sources such as websites, research blogs, books, journal articles, conferences, organizations, and other sources.
- Narrow your ideas to 2 or 3 possible research questions. Evaluate your question using criteria like feasibility, scope (too narrow or too broad), your level of interest, and future benefit to your career.
- The Library has many print and ebooks on the process of writing dissertations. Search for: dissertations, academic; academic writing dissertations and report writing dissertations.

The research design is the strategy or blueprint for the collection, measurement, and analysis of your data. Generally, the design is the overall logical structure for your project and the methodology refers to the detailed steps for data collection and analysis. The type of design and method used is determined by the nature of your research question. Certain research designs and methods are core to specific fields of study or programs. Your design needs to be consistent with the requirements and expectations of your advisor, committee, and program.
- Understand that your choice of design and methods will influence the niche you develop for yourself within your department, your discipline, and the wider academic community.
- Read and review information about design and methodology (e.g such as books on methodology) and study examples of how these strategies have been applied in research similar to yours (e.g. other dissertations, articles, etc.).
- Consider any philosophical and practical factors. Identify the theoretical approaches inherent in your design and methods.
Tips from the Library:
- Search Library for books and articles on research theory, design, methods, and analysis.
- Read about specific statistical techniques and software packages, for example, SPSS or SAS. For example, Lynda.com offers online tutorials.
- Review dissertations with similar designs and methods to learn about what worked well and what obstacles occurred.

- If possible, practise your presentation in the room you will present in to identify any visual issues (colour, word size, etc.)
Results Section:
The results section of your dissertation is the place to report your findings based on the data you gathered. This section should appear in a logical sequence based on your methodology. State your findings without interpretation.
- Use non-text objects to illustrate your results including tables, figures, images and visualizations. Illustrative objects should be placed either within the dissertation text or at the end of your dissertation.
- Summarize all your results whether they are statistically significant or not.
- Put raw data, survey instruments, and release forms, etc. into appendices if appropriate and required.

Use a checklist to make sure you have
- Answered the assessment task and stayed on topic
- Covered all parts and identified any gaps
- Used the correct referencing style
- Aligned to the marking criteria
- Formatted and referenced correctly
- Checked for grammatical and stylistic errors
- Answered the essay question and stayed on topic
- Covered all parts required in the report and identified any gaps
- Formatted the report and referenced correctly
- Answered the essay question and stayed on topic.
- Covered all parts and identified any gaps.
- Practise without an audience to check that the organisation and timing of your content works well. It can be helpful to video yourself (e.g. using your phone) or practise in front of a mirror so you can see what the audience sees.
- What worked well?
- What didn’t work so well?
- At what points were there problems in the flow?
- How did you feel?
- Make changes to your presentation based on your reflections. Think of questions the audience might ask and prepare some answers.
- For groups: If you take turns to speak, you could offer constructive feedback to each other. Make sure you think of ways to encourage each other as well as suggesting ways to improve.
- If you have time practice in front on someone and ask for constructive feedback.
- Ensure you use the correct referencing style.
- Check your assignment aligns to the marking criteria and is formatted and referenced correctly.
- Lastly check for grammatical and stylistic errors.
Although editing and revising occurs throughout the writing process, budget sufficient time to return to your draft for full-scale revision. Seeking feedback, reviewing, and editing your document helps you to:
- See your text from a reader's perspective.
- Examine the overall organisation and identify what is no longer relevant and what sections need further development. Bring together parts written at different times to create a coherent, connected whole.
- Make your ideas clear to others, which in turn, will result in better reader comments.
- Plan and negotiate your progress in consultation with your advisor and committee members.
- Separate large-scale revision from small-scale editing and proofreading, making sure to make large changes in organisation and content first rather than spending hours smoothing out a sentence you will end up cutting.
- Help your readers help you by giving them a direction, for example in a cover letter, in which you explain what you want to accomplish in the draft and list your specific questions and concerns.
- Identify potential readers' expertise and skills when deciding which parts of your dissertation you want them to review. For example, perhaps only people working in your lab can constructively comment on your "methods," while friends in other disciplines would give useful feedback on the "introduction."
- Respond to all comments even though you may decide to not incorporate a suggestion.
- Negotiate with your advisor and committee members to establish a process for submitting drafts for their feedback.
- Check all calculations, visual details, and citations for accuracy and validity and remove sources you are no longer citing or add new ones.
- Prepare the bibliography, appendix, title page, and acknowledgements.
- Be sure you are formatting your document to meet the University requirements.
Prepare for defence:
Your defence is your final opportunity to present your dissertation as a coherent, intelligent product to the committee members who will read and evaluate it. Moreover, although the defence is a challenging prospect, remember it is your chance to share your work with interested colleagues, who will give you valuable feedback.
- You may or may not be expected to give a brief presentation at the beginning.
- Focus on the needs of your primary audience (your advisor and committee), either by consulting them directly or considering their feedback to your initial draft.
- Review your notes and rationale for making the decisions you made in your draft for example, including or excluding certain seminal theories, authors, and research methodologies.
- Remind yourself that at this point you are now the "expert" on your research and the goal of the defence is to present and share your expertise and seek feedback from interested readers.
Note: Check deadlines for commencement and submission of the dissertation.
Make sure you include all parts of your assessment when you submit it. There are no second chances!
- Do you need to print off a hardcopy or upload to Moodle?
- Do you need an assessment cover sheet?
- Have you checked your assessment through Turnitin and made the necessary changes? It can take up to 24 hours to generate an originality report.
- Do you need to print off a hardcopy or upload to Moodle? Or do you need to do both?
- Have you checked your assessment through Turnitin and made the necessary changes?
- Ensure you have all your materials ready to present. Gather your slideshow files, handouts, or props.
- If using Powerpoint, load your presentation onto a portable data storage device, e.g. USB stick, or ensure it is stored in a 'cloud' storage platform that you can access from the room you will present in. It's good to have multiple copies of it in case one version becomes inaccessible for some reason.
- If you’re planning to present from your own computer or device, ensure you also bring any necessary adaptors so that you can connect your computer or device to the projector.
- For groups: Ensure that each of you has the most recent version of the presentation. Make sure you know who is responsible for bringing a computer and adaptor, if necessary, or any other props.
Your dissertation defence committee will have informed you that you passed your defence, or passed with minor revisions needed. In some cases, substantial revisions are needed before the committee members agree to pass the dissertation. The procedures, requirements, and timelines for completing the dissertation process may vary depending on the department with which you are affiliated and the type of doctorate you will receive. Once any needed revisions have been completed and approved, you are ready to finish the dissertation and submit the final version to the Graduate School.
- When submitting your dissertation consider your rights as an author. For example, you may want to retain your legal rights to the copyright for your work.
CONGRATULATIONS you have completed your dissertation!

Assignment Calculator: A time management tool for use with writing assignments
Break your assignment into steps
Use the Assignment Calculator to break down your writing assignments into a series of manageable steps -- each with a separate due date.
All you need to know is the date you will start working on the assignment (be realistic!) and your due date.
Read through your assignment guidelines and note requirements such as citation style and page limits.
If your topic is broad (e.g. "write an essay about healthcare") then narrow or focus your topic before you start researching. .
For more about narrowing your topic, try:
- Developing a Topic for a Research Paper: Narrowing Your Topic , a quick video (3 minutes) plus tips, from University of Regina's Archer Library.
- University of Nevada Las Vegas's Topic Narrowing tool , for a mind mapping approach.
Gather research from credible sources to develop your topic. There are many places to search for credible information, including the SFU Library or Google Scholar.
Review the information you find to understand your topic. You will want to pay attention to relevant beliefs, trends, thoughts, and facts, giving more emphasis to the kinds of information your assignment asks you to focus on.
For more on finding and evaluating sources, see:
- What is a scholarly journal ?: For how to identify and evaluate scholarly journals, magazines, and trade publications -- both print and online.
- Finding and evaluating resources : Tips for finding and evaluating the reliability of publications, whether you find them on the open web, in the Library Catalogue, using Google Scholar, or elsewhere.
- Search the SFU Library for tips for books, and journal articles, and tips from subject expert librarians.
Create an overall statement that both summarizes your research and indicates the significance of your main claim or argument.
Not every research paper needs an argumentative thesis statement, but if you’re asked to take a position on a topic, then your thesis statement should also be debatable.
Remember that an effective thesis statement presents both your main claim and your central reasons for making that claim.
You can always adjust your thesis statement as you draft your paper.
Looking for more?
- Try these tips on constructing a thesis statement from Walden University.
- You can also review these templates for argumentation , from the SFU Student Learning Commons.
Outline the main sections and/or paragraphs you plan to write about in your paper.
Each section or paragraph should tie in with your thesis statement. In your outline, make notes about how each section of your paper relates to your thesis statement.
Also note which facts, articles, and/or evidence you will use to support your claims.
- Try these suggestions for the essential sections of an outline from Walden University
- The University of Toronto's guide to organizing an essay has some good outlining examples
Refer to your outline and expand your ideas into complete sentences and paragraphs.
The writing doesn't need to be perfect -- just focus on getting your ideas written and solidifying the key points of your paper.
Note the research sources you think you will write about and/or use as evidence in your paper in your outline. Be sure to include where you found the information, who the author is, and when the source was published.
- Review these tips for writing a first draft from Berkeley
- Stuck? See these tips for overcoming writer's block: Writers Block (from Walden University) and Symptoms and Cures for Writer's Block (from Purdue University)
Revision takes time.
In this step, look again at your thesis and make sure your paper advances your argument. At this point you might need to make structural changes.
Where revision asks you to look at the structure, organization, and overall argument in your paper, editing is about taking a close look at your sentence structures, transitions, and the concision of your writing.
For more detailed tips and examples:
- Check out Revising the Draft from the Harvard College Writing Center
- To ensure your paper meets the assignment guidelines, and to check for cohesion, try Reverse Outlines: A Writer's Technique for Examining Organization (University of Wisconsin - Madison).
Make sure that all your sources are properly integrated and cited. This step is important for ensuring academic integrity.
- Review the guidelines of the citation style you have been asked to use (e.g. APA, MLA, Chicago).
- When do you need to cite? Test your knowledge with the SFU plagiarism tutorial .
- Need more help? Ask a Librarian your citation question.
Review the style, clarity and flow of your writing. Focus on individual sentences and look for common errors in sentence structure, punctuation, grammar, or usage. Read your work out loud to help you catch mistakes. Printing out and checking a hard copy can also help you to notice typos that you might miss on the screen.
Finally, format your paper to fit all your assignment guidelines.
- Try these techniques for sentence clarity from Purdue University.
- Review these Top 10 Self-Help Editing Tips from the Student Learning Commons
Submit your assignment, and you're done!
Remember that your instructor will provide you with helpful feedback on your assignment that can help you to improve both your writing and your writing process for future work.
If you ever get feedback that is unclear to you, you can bring it into the Student Learning Commons for discussion with one of our Peers or Graduate Writing Facilitators.
Book a consultation with the Student Learning Commons at any of these stages to get more support.
About this tool
These general steps will guide you through the process of writing most research-based essay assignments.
However every assignment is a little different -- so always refer to the your specific assignment guidelines, check with your TA or instructor if you have questions, and use your best judgement about which steps are necessary for you!

Studiosity's assignment calculator
Start early and stay calm - you've got this..
Uh oh, due on the same day?
Due tomorrow?
Save your plan for this assignment:
- Read your assignment instructions, check the word count and marking criteria, double check the due date and the format.
- Circle keywords in your assignment question that tell you what to do. For instance, is it asking you to 'evaluate' or 'describe' or 'assess'?
- Try writing out the question in your own words, or explain the assignment to a family member or friend.
- Circle or make note of any keywords that are related to your subject or course specifically (in Nursing, this might be \"human structure\" or \"misconduct\"; in Business it might be \"ethics\".)
- If you have any questions on how to understand your assignment question or keywords, log into your free Studiosity account to get 24/7 help from a study coach specialist.
- Use the right structure for your assignment type: is it an essay , report, personal reflection, persuasive or narrative, or scientific paper? Your assignment sheet or instructions from your teacher will tell you this.
- What do you already know? Spend a few minutes writing it down.
- Where will you look? Think about the tools you will use (perhaps your library databases, Google Scholar, others). Journals might be good for evidence, a credible online source or search might be good for general information.
- Get creative: When searching, think of other, related keywords that could give you new results and perspectives (for example the different keywords: Sport; Soccer; World Cup might give you different sources.)
- When taking notes, consider paraphrasing as you go - this means using your own words to describe someone else's idea. Paraphrasing can help you understand the idea yourself. (Remember, you still need to reference someone else's' idea even if you use your own words.) You might also choose to use a direct quote - \"exact words in a reference\" - or you might summarise, which is describing the findings of an entire source or section in your own words. If you take notes this way while researching, it will help you form your ideas, sentences, and paragraphs when you write your first draft.
- Save yourself some time - if you read something relevant, make a note right away . You might keep it in a \"research journal\" book or digital document, with correctly formatted references, dates accessed, and a brief note on what it relates to. This will save you a lot of time later!
- Remember those notes you took while reading? Now you can put them in an order that makes sense.
- Take notes to suit the type of structure you need to follow.
- Whether you are typing or writing, one method is to start with headlines - for example, by argument, by topic, by idea - and group the notes you made this way.
- Use your own words, using language that your teacher expects.
- Use evidence, properly.
- A draft isn't perfect! Try to write everything down first. Then, try to focus on developing those notes into organised paragraphs, based on the structure you need to follow.
- If you're not sure where to start, you can always connect to an English Subject Specialist who can help guide you on how to start your assignment
- Get feedback on what you have written so far. Studiosity is free for many students, so find your service to upload your document and get feedback in less than 24 hours from a real English expert.
- Always check with your teacher or lecturer if you are unsure, or want feedback on the content or even referencing of your draft.
- You've got feedback, great! Now you need to do something with it. This is where you can critically think for yourself about the strength of your argument (if you're arguing), your references, and structure. Decide what feedback to use, and how you want to make changes if you want to.
- Make sure your assignment is formatted correctly for the task type and your teacher’s requirements.
- Do a proofread and last edit ( what's the difference? ).
- Use Studiosity to get a last round of writing feedback in less than 24 hours - if you have time - or use Studiosity's Connect Live to chat through an idea, phrasing, referencing, or something else 24/7.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.
We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.
This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Deciphering an Assignment Guide
Choosing a topic for your paper is a little like joining a conversation that is already happening around you.
- Choose something of interest to you.
- Make a list of potential topics.
- Conduct pre-research to see what has been written about your potential topic.
Exploring a Topic Guide
Determine types of sources required by your instructor and what types of sources best fit your topic.
- Scholarly Sources: Written by experts (scholars, professors, researchers) in a given field, scholarly sources are highly specialized and often individual research projects that include methodology and theory and may undergo a peer-review process.
- Trade/Professional Publications: Written by professionals in the field or journalists working for the publisher, these publications report on industry trends, new products or techniques, and discipline-specific news.
- Popular Magazines: Written by journalists or freelance writers, popular magazines inform readers about issues of common interest to the general public.
- Newspapers: Are written for the general public and have different sections (ranging from investigative reporting to editorials). Look carefully at the section and what is being said in the articles to distinguish the types of articles you have found.
- Primary Sources: The terms \"primary\" or \"original\" sources are used to describe several different types of sources. In the sciences, original research or primary sources describe an original article. In the humanities, a primary source could be the text of a novel or an artifact such as a diary or map.
Library How To Videos
Evaluating sources of information is an important step before using them for research.
- When trying to decide if a source is sufficient for your topic, consider the author, type of authority needed, accuracy, and publication date in an initial evaluation.
- A critical analysis will help you determine if you have the right information for your context.
- Consider the audience or purpose of the source as well as relevance to your specific research project.
Evaluating Sources Guide
Critical reading is active engagement and interaction with texts, and it is essential to your success in college
- Read the Abstract and skim the Introduction (look specifically for the thesis statement) and Conclusion or Discussion section. These sections should tell you what the authors intended to prove, quickly how they went about it and what happened with the particular study.
- Read the Methods and Results section. These are likely the most complex parts of the article. But, these sections will detail the author(s) methodology and the results of their research.
- How does this research fit into what is previously known? How is this research unique?
- How was the study designed?
- How is this study relevant?
- Who does the author represent and how was the study funded?
To make an impact as a writer, you need to do more than present ideas that are logical, well supported, and clear.
- The key to a great paper is in the planning. Figure out what you are going to write about before you begin writing.
- Once you have planned out your ideas, start drafting or writing. Refer back to your plan, but don't be afraid to change it when needed.
- Think of your writing as a means of entering into the scholarly conversation, using what others have said as a backdrop to your views.
- The best writing makes clear connections among its different parts. What you say in one sentence both sets up what is to come in the next sentence and logically follows what was said in the previous sentence. The same should be true of your paragraphs.
Planning Your Assignment Guide
Revision will make your writing better
- Set your paper aside for a few hours or a day in order to read it more objectively
- Read your paper out loud to ensure what you have written sounds correct.
- How well have I made my argument?
- How can I improve it?
- Are sentences too vague and ambiguous?
- Have I tied it all together well?
Revising Guide
Academic writing refers to a style of expression researchers use to define the intellectual boundaries of their disciplines
- Formal tone.
- Use of third-person rather than first-person perspective.
- A clear focus on the research problem under investigation, and
- Precise word choice.
It may seem like citing your sources is tedious, but it's important and there are many reasons to do it:
- Helps you avoid plagiarizing.
- Allows the reader to find your research sources. Think of citations as footprints leading the reader through some of the steps you took to reach your conclusions.
- Provides evidence for your arguments and adds credibility to your work by demonstrating that you have sought out and considered a variety of viewpoints on a given topic, and
- Is standard practice for scholars and students engaged in written academic conversations
