Dissertation

A dissertation is a big, in-depth research project that students write to earn a advanced degree, like a PhD. It’s like a super-detailed book where they explore a specific topic, share their findings, and prove they’re an expert in their field. In short, it’s the final, major project that shows they’ve mastered their subject.
