Methodology for a technically-oriented Master’s Thesis:

 

1.    State a claim;

2.    Show that the claim’s context is valid through a presentation of references to prior work;

a.     Demonstrate how prior work may have influenced the new claim (or been proven contrary by the thesis work);

3.    Show through experimentation that the claim can be proven;

4.    Sufficiently document the experimentation so that it may be reproduced;

5.    Provide insight into how the claim can be further used or extended; and

6.    Have the document reviewed by a set of expert readers for validity.
