Students do not give as much importance as they should have to a dissertation proposal and they quickly draft a proposal, shining light on the objectives, research methodology and the possible outcome of the research. Students should take dissertation proposals seriously and make them as detailed as possible – only then will they are able to get a clear direction on the dissertations. A dissertation proposal helps a supervisor to understand the drawbacks of a dissertation and he will be able to suggest improvements, if any. However, if the dissertation proposal is vague, even the supervisor will not be able to help you and this can be deleterious to your academic career.
