A thesis is an extended academic work that presents a researcher's original argument and evidence on a specific question, typically required to complete an undergraduate or graduate degree. The modern thesis structure — topic, problem statement, hypotheses, methodology, chapters, references — was codified by Anglo-Saxon universities in the early 20th century. This template guides you from central topic through all sections plus a schedule module to plan deadlines backward from the defense date.
A thesis is an individual academic work required to complete an undergraduate or graduate degree, presenting the researcher's original argument and evidence on a specific question. The modern structure — topic, research problem, hypotheses, methodology, literature review, analysis, and conclusion — was codified by Anglo-Saxon universities in the early 20th century and adopted globally. A typical undergraduate thesis runs 40-80 pages, takes 6-12 months of work, and follows specific citation standards (APA in the US, MLA in humanities, Chicago, or ABNT in Brazil). The most common mistake is starting with the writing — the correct order is: define the problem, review the literature (40% of time), collect/analyze data (30%), then write (30%). Mind maps are useful for planning chapter structure before linear writing.
