Dissertation introduction – the gateway to your work
Make a good impression with a clear-cut dissertation introduction
A dissertation introduction sets the tone for the entire thesis. It is therefore essential to keep in mind
the rules of writing a clear and informative introduction to any kind of dissertation, thesis or
research paper. As a student who needs to concentrate on submitting a dissertation in time, it is
important that these simple rules are understood and adhered to. If you still feel that you are in the
dark, there is no need to worry; all you have to do is get in touch with us and we will be happy to
help you out.
Some simple rules about introductions
1. According to study daddy the introduction to any kind of dissertation writing should contain the
thesis statement of the work. Now, don’t wonder what the thesis statement is all about; it’s a simple
thing. All you have to do is put across the main objective of doing this particular dissertation. For
instance, let us imagine that the subject of your dissertation is criminology. You could use this as a
topic – Is the imposing of death penalty, a deterrent to crime? Your thesis statement should indicate
the purpose of your study and a brief description of the methodologies that you would employ to
reach the logical end of your study. Without a precise thesis statement, the intro to a dissertation
becomes ineffective.
2. Once you have presented the thesis statement, you could give a brief explanation of the various
points that you are going to cover in your work. You could mention the scope of each chapter in
separate paragraphs of your introduction. You could also give a general overview of the complete
scope of the writing that you propose to do. Either way, it is imperative that all the points are
covered in a logical way.
3. Your introduction needs to contain the hypothesis that you wish to test, assess and evaluate in
your dissertation. The hypothetical statement or statements that you make should have a direct
bearing on the complete work. Remember that all this should be borne in mind while doing the
actual body of the writing. Without tying up the intro to the conclusion, your dissertation would
become quite meaningless. Therefore, make sure you have a plan in place, before you begin writing
the introduction to your work.
4. It is not necessary for you to bring in excessive details of the work that you are going to do. This
would undermine the import of the body of your dissertation. Therefore, make your dissertation
introduction simple and straight forward. Let it not sound like a motor that goes on and on, saying
the same thing in a hundred different ways.
