What is the dissertation reports the inquiry?Show answer
The dissertation is the written report of the entire inquiry, from the question through the method and argument to the defended conclusion. It is judged on whether its reasoning is transparent, its claims are supported and traceable, and its writing is clear. Structure is not a template to be filled for its own sake; it exists to carry the reader, step by step, from the research question to the defended conclusion, so each section should earn its place by advancing the argument.
