Don't Be Afraid To Write About Your Failures In Your Thesis
Don’t be afraid to write about your failures in your thesis. It's common for PhD students to feel apprehensive about including their failures in their thesis. It's a common human trait to brush one's failures under the rug and keep them out of sight, so that no one else knows about them. However, it's important to remember that research is a process filled with a ton of failures, and those failures are necessary steps to reach the end goal. Its in those failures that you learn what to do and what not to do, and also the best direction to take for your research to be a success. So, writing about your failures and the improvements you made as a result will demonstrate your ability to critically analyse your work and adapt to challenges. By acknowledging your failures and discussing how you overcame them, you will also add depth and nuance to both your research and thesis. This will make it a more compelling and authentic piece of work because you will be demonstrating your growth and development as a researcher. It also shows that you are not just presenting a perfect, polished outcome, but that you have engaged in a rigorous and iterative process to arrive at your conclusions. So, don't be afraid to embrace the challenges and failures that come with the research process, in fact use them to strengthen your thesis.
