OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	It is aimed to develop and demonstrate the problems and difficulties in the field by applying the systematic theory and research methods acquired in undergraduate and graduate education, and to develop and demonstrate their abilities in defining and explaining them, and to gain knowledge and skills to independently pursue specialist tasks at the end of the master program.
Contents of the Course Unit:	Thesis work stages; The examination phase, which can be defined as defining the subject of interest and getting used to the subject, data collection and processing and justification of the thesis topic, defining the limitations, problem(s) to be solved or expected development(s), what the collected information shows, this information in line with the general purposes of the thesis. The planning phase in which what it is about is taken into account, the presentation of the theoretical framework that is seen to be related to the thesis topic, the procedures for data collection and linking the theory to the subject of the thesis, the methods and techniques to be used for the development and implementation of the thesis, the evaluation and monitoring of the plan and development processes of the thesis development processes. the implementation phase, where the thesis is written, corrected, presented and defended.
