Students often start dissertations without a clear plan. A solid outline defines what your dissertation needs, but first you must understand your committee's specific rules and expectations by asking them directly.
Over the years, I've seen students start writing, just jump into things without really knowing where they're going, without really following an outline. And it ultimately slowed them down because the outline lets you know what you need to have in a dissertation. So let's talk about and figure out what is needed for a good outline. I guess the first thing I want to say is don't start until you know the rules and by the rules. Let's talk to your committee, see what your committee wants you to put forward.
