Now this sounds as if middle work ought to be really simple. Getting the middle in shape allows you to answer the question – What do I have to say in my thesis and to whom? What is my ‘material’? What is the best way to organise and present it? So after the middle work you go back to the beginning to sort out how the whole text will be structured, knowing where its all going. The reason for starting in the middle is that once you know what you have to say, then you can construct the argument for rest of the thesis. Some people might not, and that’s fine, but beginning with middle work is a very common pattern. It usual for people to start writing their thesis text in the middle – that is with the actual NEW stuff that’s been done. This time I’m looking at putting the thesis together. As is generally the case, one of my two posts for the week focuses on academic writing.
