You’re about to finish your coursework or comprehensive exams and have started to think about writing your thesis or dissertation. Where do you begin?

Rock Your Thesis is a three-part program that guides graduate students through the first phases of planning and writing a thesis or dissertation. The series covers topics such as planning and project management, structuring your thesis or dissertation, writing a literature review, using strategies for finding and recording research sources, and revision.

Each of the three Rock Your Thesis sessions balances talks from support staff across campus with hands-on activities to guide you through your own planning, drafting, and revising process.

The first in the three-part 'Rock Your Thesis' series, this workshop will help you clarify your direction and develop a practical plan for successfully executing a large academic writing project, such as a thesis or dissertation.
