Ever wondered what a dissertation looked like? Are you a student looking for sample dissertations, something to compare yours to? Yeah that was my world 12 months ago… there ain’t much out here on the web regarding thesis / dissertations… it’s all very private and ‘brick walled’ which ironically, completely defeats the purpose of research… chances are my own dissertation would have gathered dust in an archive, if it was lucky maybe it would hit a library shelf…
From today on though, it’s on the web, open for anyone to look at, the way it should be. Pretty much all of the information in it is (or at least was, at the time of writing) publicly accessible but I’ve edited & removed certain sections just to make absolutely sure (a) there’s nothing personal in it (b) there’s nothing in it that may cause offence to certain businesses. The whole purpose of this going up online is to help future students so although i welcome all comments & will be happy to explain / debate points in it, keep in mind the content will be ‘old’ now and probably completely extinct in a years time So if you happen to stumble upon this in the future, make sure to read the date it was posted & the year the dissertation was published – things will have moved on dramatically…
Other than that, what you see here is what contributed towards my best mark (73%) in my final semester modules of my IT Management Degree…
