• This chapter shows why the choice of subject for students' dissertation is so important and differentiates between topics, problems and questions. It discusses ways of choosing the best subject for students and identifies the qualities of a good dissertation question. The chapter demonstrates why the choice of subject is important and what issues students need to think about in choosing a subject. It suggests the students to choose a dissertation topic that is current in the research literature. The chapter identifies the qualities of good questions, and shows that, although there are many questions, there are only a few types of question and they can be represented by succinct, generalized forms. It is really important that students can identify clearly their overall topic area, the particular problem that they are interested in within that broad topic and the specific question(s) that they are asking.
