Audience
When writing, it is always important to keep in mind just who the audience or readers will be, that is:
- while they may be experts in the field, they may not be familiar with the specific area of your research, and
- because each thesis or dissertation is examined by two or three examiners, it is possible that both situations can occur,
- this means that the thesis should not only address the specific area of research, but that it situate the research in relation to the field of study in general. This requires expressing the information in a particular way.
