This may seem fairly obvious, but many students do not seek the help of their supervisors while writing their dissertations – in fact, many students consult their supervisors a day or two before the submission and this often spells disaster. Writing a dissertation is tedious and one wrong step can change the course of your dissertation. So, it is necessary to ask the advice of your supervisor on a periodic basis. Even if you do not have questions or doubts, sit next to your supervisor and get him to evaluate your dissertation at various stages. This way, you will be able to make corrections before it is too late.
