The last hurdle: Helping your psychology students reach the finish line with their research project
Dissertation

In the next few weeks and months, students will be completing final year research projects as part of their degree programme. For many, this is a highly weighted assessment and the longest piece of academic writing they have undertaken to date. These projects are not only substantial in length; they are also deeply personal. As a result, the final stages of the research process are often accompanied by a mix of anticipation, relief and anxiety about “letting go” of something they have worked on for so long. What does this mean for supervisors, and how can you best support students in overcoming this final hurdle?

You’ve probably heard it before: “Never cite Wikipedia in your research paper.” And it’s good advice. But maybe you haven’t heard about how using Wikipedia (especially its citations) actually strengthens your work and even helps others discover it later. And this post is all about that!
