Objectives (course unit)
A thorough Thesis Plan, i.e. an extended topic analysis, forms the second chapter of the thesis. As a rule you should have made good progress in familiarization with literature at this stage and, hence, proper referencing is expected from a Thesis Plan.
At this point of the thesis process, the students will be able to:
Develop thesis objectives or form possible research questions.
Understand which theories form the basis of the thesis.
Know how to choose appropriate research methods.
Demonstrate an estimated project timetable for the thesis project.
Content (course unit)
What is your thesis topic?
What are the objectives and the purpose of your thesis?
Which theories form the basis of the thesis?
What research methodology is used?
What is the structure and the schedule of your thesis?

Teaching methods
The student and his/her thesis supervisor discuss/communicate based on the student's topic analysis, and agree on the necessary next steps of further developing it, to a thesis plan.
The student creates a thesis plan and sends it to his/her supervisor for approval.
As soon as the student and his/her supervisor have reached a shared understanding about the executability of the thesis plan, the supervisor approves it and registers the 3 ECTS for the student in Peppi/Pakki.
