If you can’t summarize your topic in a single paragraph, it isprobably too big, or not defined clearly enough." --- (p3) - "Further define the topic of your writing assignment by formulating a hypothesis or research question.During this phase, it is important to contact your supervisor on a regular basis." --- (p4) Comforting: - "In the end, it is all about getting your ideas on paper.
