Finding a topic for a thesis or a dissertation is not easy

It’s advisable to talk to other people like your peers and your adviser. You may also look for a mentor and pick his or her brain for ideas that can be selected for your academic writing project.

The feasibility of a thesis or a dissertation can be established by considering the following: the availability of academic literature, the availability of information, the length of time available to you, your personal skills and interests, and the need for the project if the study is sponsored by an organization

Some graduate students are talking to me about the requirement of their graduate courses to write their individual thesis. The general topics considered by three of them are interesting and timely as these are related to the national police, the open university program of a state university, and ethics.

An OFW I helped has gotten the approval of the first three chapters of his master’s thesis and is now conducting the survey. The thesis topic is related to OFWs who we know meet practically all sorts of problems in a culturally diverse work environment.

Another graduate student I helped is now ready to defend before the oral defense his proposal for a doctoral dissertation on educational management. He’s taking his Ph.D. course in a state university.

One of them is from Davao and the other from a town adjacent to NCR. As in the case of other students I helped, my research and writing assistance to these graduate students was done online.
