Thesis proposal - suggestions

I am available to discuss research proposals that can become a thesis, either master's or bachelor's degree.

I expect the prospective thesis candidate to prepare and deliver to me during the first or second interview a THESIS PROPOSAL that must contain the following information:

First and Last Name:
Major:
Title:

Background, motivation for the study
Objectives
Data and processing method
Expected outcomes (e.g. Database, Study report, Power point presentation)
Structure of the thesis paper (typical structure: 1) Introduction; 2) Background; 3) Objectives; 4) Data and methods; 5) Results; 6) Conclusions)

Summary description of the activities to be carried out, divided into phases

Estimated time frame for the various phases

People involved and their respective responsibilities


Bibliography

In preparing the proposal and thesis, follow the directions for proper citation of bibliographic sources.

As a reminder, theses will be submitted for plagiarism check before they are approved. I recommend reading this article before beginning work on the thesis: https://www.compilatio.net/it/regole-essenziali-per-citare-correttamente/

I suggest the use of APA 6th style for citations.

I strongly suggest learning to use Mendeley or Zotero software to manage the bibliography.
