Step 4: Structuring Your Essay
In this section, you’ll determine the overall structure of your essay, including the number of chapters, sections, and total pages. Here’s how to fill out this part:
Total Chapters:
- We recommend that each chapter should cover a distinct main topic related to your research question. The number of chapters can range from 1 to 10.
- Example: If you choose “3” chapters, you might structure them as follows:
- Chapter 1: Theoretical Background and Concept Definitions
- Chapter 2: Literature Review on Social Media and Self-Esteem
- Chapter 3: Discussion on Implications and Theoretical Gaps
Sections per Chapter:
- Here, you decide how many sub-sections will be within each chapter. This helps in organizing your content into more manageable parts, allowing for a detailed exploration of each chapter.
- Example: If you select “2” sections per chapter, you might structure Chapter 1 like this:
- Section 1: Defining Self-Esteem
- Section 2: Social Comparison Theory
Total Pages: Each page is considered to be double-spaced, with approximately 250 words per page. Example: “12” pages means the final essay will be around 3,000 words long.
