Awesome Thesis: survive your CS master thesis (github.com/ocean1)

I don't see "how to find a ghostwriter who turns my factually correct bullet points into fluffy writing" :P

That was my only real problem. I can ramble a thousand words for a blog post or write technical docs in no time, but let me write some thesis or anything even remotely resembling paper and writers' block kicks in. Pretty glad I don't plan on getting another degree, ever.


Struggled with this a few times myself, I plan to add some points to the "writing" section with more generic "writers tips". Thanks for the feedback!:)


I'm very surprised about the title (or the content, really).

I expected the tiny section Mental Health to make up the whole repo, since that is what I feel "survival" is all about. The rest of the links seem to be about how to write, present, etc. which are all about further success.


Thanks for the comment! This list is pretty much WIP, and I hope to expand the mental health section soon, I believe it's fundamental. As of now it's just a collection of useful resources that are often recommended to master and phd students, and workflows that have proven useful. ...maybe I should use a better wording :)


"Survive" is the right word for it. I would have liked having it when I started my master thesis since I went through all of that stuff on my own :D


You explained perfectly the reason why I used the term "survive" :P Thank you! :)
