Thesis is a scientific study performed at a theoretical and empirical level, which indicates the qualification level of the student. Choosing the field of scientific or professional interests, the student has to decide on the following questions:
- how relevant is the topic of the thesis;
- what aspects should be studied especially carefully;
- what is the object and subject of research ;
- unexplored problems in a particular field of activity.
After the research topic has been formulated, the key structural elements of the introduction to the diploma (for example, goal, tasks, object, subject, novelty), you need to try to draw up a schematic plan of the thesis. It is necessary to be prepared from the outset for the fact that compiling the names of sections, paragraphs and subparagraphs is a creative and at the same time complex process. Not always the first time it is possible to accurately display the essence of the item information in a short name of several words. Therefore, in drawing up a plan for the thesis, a student can have more than one option, prepared for analysis along with his supervisor, who will more competently make corrections and adjustments.
This is the so-called work plan. To make it easier to compile the entire content of the work, you can start with a plan-heading. This means that, focusing on the goal and the main tasks, you formulate the name of the aspect that you will study.
It is necessary to identify several of these main areas of study, of which subsequently and crystallize sections of the diploma.
Further, presenting a ready-made plan for the thesis, try to concretize each of the section titles you have defined. Most likely, when work begins with bibliographic sources, and the data array will increase, there will be a need to clarify, break it into separate paragraphs, organize information. Thus, in the thesis plan it is necessary to include paragraphs, and subsequently - subparagraphs. Stick to structured information from general to specific. The section title should be larger than the subclause, and not vice versa.
Imagine an example of how you can make a plan for the thesis.

It is worth remembering that writing a
scientific work is a creative process that should not hamper the development of ideas and scientific searches of a researcher. The plan can be dynamic, you can make adjustments to it depending on the circumstances of the course of
scientific research, if this is aimed at increasing the level of work.
