DEFINITION

Most faculties view the thesis and the project as equally acceptable in the fulfillment of the requirements for a bachelor’s or master’s degree. In order to lessen the confusion concerning these alternatives, the following definitions are provided regarding your topic.

1. Thesis

A thesis is the written product of the systematic study of a significant problem. It clearly identifies the problem, states the major assumptions, explains the significance of the undertaking, sets for the sources for methods of gathering information, analyzes the data, and offers a conclusion or recommendation.
The finished product must demonstrate originality, critical and independent thinking, appropriate organization, format, clarity of purpose, and accurate and thorough documentation. Normally, an oral defense of the thesis or project will be required.

2. Project

A project is a significant undertaking of a pursuit appropriate to the fine and applied arts or many professional fields. It must demonstrate originality and independent thinking, appropriate form and organization, and a rationale. It must be described and summarized in a written abstract that includes the project’s significance, objectives, methodology, and a conclusion or recommendation. An oral defense of the project may be required.

3. The Research Project

A research project contributes to the forensic sciences, natural sciences, social sciences, humanities; or other professions by adding to the existing sciences, humanities, or other professions by adding to the existing technical professional knowledge in the professional field. Examples include: designing an experiment; a field study; a case study; a documentary report; a professional article of publishable quality.

How to evaluate the project?

Evaluating the Project  The project should be evaluated at two levels. The first of these levels is the text and the logic of the presentation. The second level of evaluation should focus on the student’s mastery of the material. There are certain minimum requirements that the project or thesis must meet before it should be considered for acceptance. These minimal requirements deal with the manner of presentation of the project problem, its parameters, and analysis. To facilitate the examination of a project, I’ve provided a comprehensive checklist and inventory of the minimal requirements. For example: Is the topic area of the study clearly specified early in the text (within the first two pages)?  Is the topic area of the project derived from or cast into its historical perspective?  Are the major independent and dependent variables logically derived and their importance clearly evident?  Is the specific problem that the...

How to write statement of the null hypotheses?

Introduction to the Chapter  The introduction to Chapter 3 should be no more than half a page in length. This section should present the general purpose of the third chapter and describe for the reader the general layout of the sections that follow.  Chapter 3 will present the methods and procedures of the study. For the purpose of the presentation, the chapter has been divided into five sections, namely, description of the null hypotheses, description of the subjects, description of the research instrumentation, description of the procedures, and treatment of the data.  Statement of the Null-Hypotheses  This section of the chapter should contain a list of all of the null-hypotheses, which are to be tested in the study. You should not present an alternative, directional, hypotheses in this section of the chapter since they are incapable of being tested statistically.  A null hypothesis is a statement of this type:  “There will be no sign...

Simply realist your hypotheses here. Begin with an introductory phrase like this “The null-hypotheses posed for testing in the study are listed below.”  Review of the Methods  The review of the methods section of the fifth chapter should be two to three pages in length. In essence, this two to three-page section is a summary of the methods chapter of the project. You might begin by completing the following sentence: “The subjects used in the study…..”  Make sure that you cover the following points:  How many subjects were used;  How were they divided into groups;  With what and by whom was the subject tested; and  What were the levels of the independent variables? (Stated another way, what did the experimental subjects participate in that t...
