What If You Write a Dissertation on a Topic You Dislike?

3 06 2008

The articles you have already read in this web-blog provide some pieces of advice on dissertation writing. This time I would like you to resort to your fantasy and imagine that you are writing a dissertation on the topic you dislike. Of course, in your student life you had a lot of experience of writing a paper on the topic that is not interesting for you. But…what would happen if writing a dissertation was on the topic that you hate?

1.You would put off writing your dissertation till the deadline comes. Since dissertation writing is a very prolonged process, it needs a lot of information to be analyzed. If you are interested in the topic you are covering, you will be motivated. Vice versa, if you dislike the topic of your dissertation, the work would not be progressing, that is so important for the young researcher;

2.You might find a cheap dissertation online on the topic of your dissertation and just rephrase some sentences in it. Thus, your own dissertation might be full of plagiarism. Of course, you might check it on plagiarism, but you would not do it, as you would not care about your dissertation at all. The reason is that you just dislike the topic of your dissertation;

3.You might not get your degree because of plagiarism in your paper. Just imagine that a dissertation committee announces a kind of verdict: “plagiarized dissertation. No degree is given!” Rather disturbing, isn’t it?

All this might happen if you write a dissertation on the topic that you dislike. A conclusion: choose the topic that may be interesting for you to research.
