Students are given writing prompts for preparing an essay. However, the topics assigned take the shape of these prompts as students are asked to expand these topic areas, to write a complete essay. Therefore, they should remember that essay prompts can be generated randomly by the students also, as they do a little brain storming to find out an excellent reason to write a story, blog or an essay.

Students need to do a bit of brain storming before finalizing on a strong statement for their thesis essay. However, a strong thesis statement should give the conclusion supporting various arguments in favor of the hypothesis. For example, if the students are writing on weight loss program, supporting certain herbal products, then their hypothesis should be vivid and strong without any confusion or doubt. Here, students can discuss about the positive and negative affects of the product, but the thesis statement shall be in support of a firm stand on the product, without any ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’.

Students aiming for a research or doctoral degree will have to make a proposal, as part of their application file, for highlighting the contribution that can be made by the student to the already existing data on the subject. Hence, Students should thoroughly understand the technique of  how to write research proposal. The evaluators and selectors will judge every application based on this research proposal that should give sufficient information on the new research idea and the manner it will be conducted during the course of PhD program.
