The Technical Stuff
If there are any technical or specialist terms in your research that you struggle with – or which you need to feel more certain about – then take steps during your preparation to help remind you.
- Make a list of ten terms and write short definitions or reminders.
- Underline or highlight terms as they appear in your thesis.
- Add notes in margins to help you unpick meaning or make connections.
- Ask your supervisor or a friend to have a conversation with you about any difficult topic to help you practise.
