On July 16, 2024 at noon EST, I attended LJMU’s "Dissertations: Writing up your Findings and Discussion" training with Jane Hennesy-Murdoch. During the 75 minute session, she covered:
-What are the Results For?
-Compare the Findings with Discussion
-Determine What Type of Data You've Got...Qualitative or Quantitative?
-Stages of Data Evaluation
-Clearly Label all Tables, Figures and Images
-Start By Returning to Your Research Aims & Objectives
-Results Chapter Lays the Foundation for the Discussion Chapter
-Put the 'Story' in a Logical Order
-Qualitative Section- Guide the Reader Through Your Story (Summarize the Findings in Relation to Your Research Questions.)
-Quantitative Section- Guide the Reader Through Your Data (Use charts, tables and/or figures)
-Mixed Methods Section- Guide the Reader Through Your Story and Data (Use good narrative, and good data via charts, tables and/or figures.)
-Language- Be mindful of the tense
