Finding A Sample Master's Thesis Methodology On The Web

There are definitely some skills you need when it comes to writing your master’s thesis methodology section. For example, did you know there’s a difference between methods and methodology? It’s important to have a good grasp of this before you begin your search and especially before you start your writing.

What is included in the methodology section?

Methodology describes the philosophical foundation to why your chose your specific research methods. It includes a discussion of why you are using quantitative procedures, or qualitative, or a mixture of the two.

Make sure your choices are backed up by solid scientific evidence or Academic reasons, and not just because you thought you should use, or you were interested in, a certain procedure you chose to include.

Now that you are familiar with what the methodology section of your master’s thesis should be all about, the next step is to find a decent sample on the web. You certainly don’t want to use just any old sample you find that’s free and easy to download. Usually that means it doesn’t have much value. The exception to this rule may be when you find a good sample on a college or university website.

Where to look for good samples on the web

Looking for samples online will most likely turn up some scams. There will be legitimate sites and there will be sites you can’t trust. The key is knowing the difference and being able to locate the type of master’s thesis methodology sample that will suit your needs, be authentic and give you a good pattern to follow when writing yours.

There are probably only a few places that are worth looking into. The first place is the site of the school you are attending. See what they have available for samples, because they have probably been checked before uploaded to the site. The other place is a good quality writing agency. They specialize in this sort of thing, and can supply a sample that could be very useful to you. You can even request a sample that’s in your chosen field, so it’s more applicable to the research you’ll be doing. These make a better template to follow than just a generic example does.

Whether it will cost you anything or not depends on what you can find. Some of them are given out at no cost but it’s harder to find quality. You could ask for a custom one suited to your specific master’s project which may cost a nominal amount.
