Discussion Chapter
Where your results stop being numbers and become findings.
Plenty of students describe their results twice and call the second pass a discussion. The discussion has a different job: it answers the research question, places your findings against existing studies, and explains the parts that do not fit. Done properly it is the chapter examiners remember. We write discussions that argue from your own data and stay honest about the limits.
What you get
- Answer the research question directly, in the first paragraph
- Set your findings against the literature you reviewed
- Explain what does not fit instead of hiding it
- State practical and theoretical implications
- Point at what should be studied next
