What can be the reason for a dissertation being given a poor grade despite the topic being relevant?
A good research topic does not necessarily lead to a good dissertation. In the UAE, many Master's, PhD and DBA students spend months gathering data, reading literature and analysing data, and then submit work that is far from what is expected from an academic.
It is not necessarily the research topic that causes a problem, but rather the structure, justification and presentation of the research. Here are some common errors that will impact the quality of your dissertation.
What are the seven secrets to a weak dissertation?
Interesting Topic with no research gap identified
A dissertation has to be an original contribution to academic knowledge. Just talking about something popular doesn't do the trick. Students should show how to add something to the body of previous works and why their work is important.
2. Literature reviews that are summarising rather than critically analysing.
Listing what different researchers have discovered is not critical analysis. A good literature review makes comparisons, uncovers inconsistencies and assesses the methodological shortcomings.
4. Research objectives that are formulated but then change during the research process
If there's no connection between the goals, research questions and methodology, the whole study is muddled. Each goal should include a research question and a suitable investigation.
5. The inappropriate application of the appropriate method 4.3.3.6. The wrong selection of the research methodology 6.3.3.
When choosing quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods research, it is important to remember that this is not necessarily the easier option and may be detrimental to the study. The methodology has to be justified in terms of the research aims.
Data analysis that does not lead to significant interpretation.
Whether you're showing percentages, graphs, interview answers or statistical findings, it is not enough to just present the figures. Students need to interpret the results and relate them to previously published research.
6. Poor discussion and recommendations
Recommendations must come from the results of research. Vague terms which are applicable to any organization or industry do not show academic value.
7. Inconsistent and inadequate academic referencing or formatting
An inconsistent academic formatting, incomplete references and incorrect citations can destroy the strength of a well-developed dissertation.
