just want to start off by saying I am a creative arts student and I'm supposed to come up with a dissertation and research topic (as everyone is of course) but I just can't do it. Everyone else seems to really understand it and I don't. This has been so hard for me because I am not academic at all and have a very slow processing speed (basically not very clever I guess?) and diagnosed with learning difficulties and I just don't understand all the academic talk they're throwing at us.
I've tried to research what makes a good dissertation but I just don't know what I'm supposed to be doing because as soon as I think I've figured it out, I come across something that makes me confused again. Some say to be super specific but when you are, it's seen as restricting yourself? I really want to do something that I love instead of doing something generic but I don't know how to convert those topics into a dissertation?
