The sharing session starts with the definition of dissertation and differences between a dissertation report and a thesis. Even though both terms have different meanings, they have the same purpose, which is research. The flow of research is to review problem statement, perform literature review, determine novelty and objectives, develop hypothesis, methods for solving problems, get results and writing. A dissertation is a compilation of research that proves students are knowledgeable about the information learned throughout their graduate program.
