Dissertation Tips from Students for Students
This thunderstorm presentation will share the feedback from final year Business and Enterprise (B&E) students on their approach to organising and writing their dissertation. Students taking courses in B&E are required to submit their thesis in January, so time management skills are very important. Research was undertaken with a group of final year students and comments are captured from two focus groups. A World Café approach was taken and an informal discussion. The main theme was 'what went well and what would you do differently?' Questions asked to stimulate discussion focussed on the following topics: • The value of the lectures • Time management • Understanding referencing • Organising tutor time • Personal reflection The feedback is presented as an infographic, with a view to use as a resource with next year's cohort of final years. Added to the student quotes are a selection of tips that have been recommended by both the students and the tutor.
