How do you plan a project?
Choose a Topic
Virtually every project topic starts with a general area of interest and becomes more refined as you begin talking with related faculty. The first ideas will need to be refined and many may be discarded as you refine your interests and get advice. But with perseverance and attention to thinking, reading, and discussion, a focused project will emerge.
How should you choose a project topic?
-
Set up appointments to talk with faculty in your area of interest
Such discussions with faculty can also help you understand the feasibility of your ideas. The faculty can help you start narrowing down potential topics. From these conversations you ought to be able to find a thesis supervisor.
-
Read widely in the fields that interest you
Make a habit of browsing professional journals to survey the “hot” areas of research and to familiarize yourself with your field's methodologies.
-
Look at theses from the past
The Libraries house all the approved bachelor’s theses and papers. To get a sense of the typical type and scope of a thesis project, take a look at a sampling from your field.
-
Talk to other Scholars doing their thesis work
While it is important to always consult disciplinary faculty before making decisions about your project, conversations with other Scholars help expand your horizons. Discussions with other students may help your ideas evolve.
What makes a good project topic?
-
It's fascinating
Above all, choose something that catches your interest and grips your imagination. If you don't, the chances are good that you'll struggle to finish.
-
It's doable
Even if a topic interests you, it won't work out unless you have enough time and access to the resources, equipment, and materials you need to do the work. Also be sure that your topic is narrow enough; an undergraduate project can be more broadly defined than you might find in some areas of graduate studies, but it needs to fit into the time frame you have for completing it.
-
It embodies a question
There's a big difference between having a topic and having a question that guides your work. It will keep you focused on what you want to accomplish. The question may range from informational to aesthetic, from factual to inspirational, depending on the discipline you are working in.
Goal-Setting and Time Management
The senior year is an exceptionally busy time for college students. In addition to the usual load of courses and jobs, seniors are also applying for jobs and/or graduate schools, preparing for graduation, and spending their last few days in college with important friends. These demands are time consuming and often fill up evening and weekend time that a student used to have free!
If that scenario sounds daunting, don't panic! Instead, start planning to make time for your project. You may need to take a lighter course load or eliminate some co-curricular activities while working on your thesis project. Even if the thesis is the only thing you have planned to do, you still need to make a systematic schedule for yourself.
To earn credit for your thesis project work you will typically take a thesis independent study course. You and your thesis team should make a plan to guide you through the project. If deadlines are not set for you by the faculty, then set them for yourself. Whether they’re imposed goals or your own goals, get and stay serious about meeting those deadlines.
