Thesis work is a scientific research carried out at a theoretical and empirical level, which indicates the student's qualification level. Choosing the area of scientific or professional interests, the student will have to decide on the following questions:
- how relevant is the theme of the thesis;
- what aspects should be studied especially carefully;
- what is the object and subject of research;
- unexplored problems in a certain field of activity.
After the research topic is formulated, the key structural elements of the introduction to the diploma (for example, goal, tasks, object, subject, novelty), it is necessary to try to draw up a schematic plan of the thesis. You need to be initially prepared for the fact that composing the titles of sections, paragraphs and subparagraphs is a creative and at the same time complex process. It is not always possible to accurately display the essence of the item information in a short title of several words the first time. Therefore, when compiling a thesis plan, a student can have far more than one option prepared for analysis together with his supervisor, who will more competently make amendments andadjustments.
This is the so-called work plan. To make it easier to compose the entire content of the work, you can start with a rubricator plan. This means that, focusing on the goal and 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, from which in the future and crystallize the sections of the diploma.
Next, when presenting a finished thesis plan, try to specify each of the section titles you have identified. Most likely, when work with bibliographic sources begins, and the data array grows, there will be a need to clarify, break it down into separate paragraphs, and streamline the information. Thus, it is necessary to include points in the plan of the thesis work, and subsequently - subparagraphs. Stick to structuring information from general to specific. The section title should be larger than the sub-item, and not vice versa.
Let's imagine an example of how you can plan your thesis
Sample

Applications
It is worth remembering that writing a scientific work is a creative process that should not hinder the development of ideas and scientific research of the researcher. The plan can be dynamic, it can be adjusted depending on the circumstances of the progress of scientific research, if it is focused on improving the level of work.
