McMaster University's Graduate Thesis Toolkit

Abstract

Welcome to the McMaster Graduate Thesis Toolkit – your resource for everything related to writing for your Masters and PhD work. After consulting with graduate students like you, we have developed a series of resources, tip sheets, and experiences from graduate students in the following three themes:

Time Management & Organization Technical Aspects of Writing & Editing Staying Well While Writing

We also heard from graduate students that everyone’s thesis experience is unique, and so the toolkit reflects that diversity. We hope the quotes and stories from students throughout will inspire you and let you know that you are not alone in your journey.

This is a general guide for the entire graduate student body, so please consult with your own department for their specific guidelines and processes.
