“…Huxley, Orwell, and Foucault classically provide the foundation for much of the historical narratives in surveillance studies (Marx, 2016), but the 1960s provided a political climate that would ensure surveillance and privacy would become deeply embedded in our capitalist society and commercial social media platforms (Dwyer, 2016). Specht (2017). In-text citations in reference list at end of chapter.…”

Here we are then, the final chapter. It's all going to come together now. You have learnt to manage your time, you have been a fantastic contributor to your seminars, you've survived group work and submitted your essays. You are a media and communications rock star! But now you need to prove that, once and for all, with the dreaded dissertation! In the last couple of chapters we have looked at some of the additional skills needed, question writing and research skills, but now it is time to bring these together with the skills from the first nine chapters and create something amazing -I mean, even more amazing that what you have done before.A dissertation usually comes in two halves, a proposal, about what you will do, and a dissertation, about what you did do. This chapter focuses most of its attention on the dissertation, but you can't start a dissertation without a good plan of work, so we will also start by looking at what a good research proposal should look like.

“…Yet, in writings on surveillance and privacy, it is often noted, even by the authors themselves (Dwyer, 2016;Marx, 2016;Lyon 2015), that the writing itself may well be creating the same fears and impotence that is ruinous to democracy. (Specht, 2017) Being able to synthezise is key to doing really good academic writing. It is a skill that takes practice and sometimes going through the step-by-step process can feel like it is really slowing down your writing.…”

Haven't we done this already? Well, yes, we looked at ways of taking notes in chapter 4, but now let's do some advanced notetaking that will allow us to write in a really high-quality academic style. We are going to look further at ways of reading, how to combine information and how to synthesize reading to create complex and interesting essays that will blow your professors socks off. And the best thing is, this is all easier than you might think-especially with a bit of practice. There are just six steps for reading in this way; ❒ Previewing ❒ Annotating ❒ Outline, summarize, analyze ❒ Look for repetitions and patterns ❒ Contextualize ❒ Compare and contrast.
