Thesis revisions following supervisor feedback

Turning feedback into specific changes

Revise the text according to the comments while maintaining the consistency of the thesis

One comment can affect several parts of a document. A change to the research aim affects the methodology, reporting of results and conclusion, while adding literature may require changes to the argument and references. We therefore start by linking the comments to specific passages. We then make changes supported by the material and the agreed scope.

You can provide a single chapter, several marked pages, or the entire thesis. You do not need to decide yourself whether a comment requires language editing, argument development, or restructuring of the research section. We will show how we interpret the recommendations and what materials are needed to implement them.

Discuss the revisions to your thesis

You have the text and a list of changes

What revisions can we make in response to your supervisor's feedback?

Comments on paragraphs

Clarifying unclear sentences and concepts.
Developing the argument in the identified passages.
Adding references based on verified sources.

Comments on the structure of the thesis

Changing the order or scope of subsections.
Removing repetitions and refining transitions.
Checking the consistency of modified parts with the introduction and conclusion.

Changes in the research section

Clarifying the description of the research actually conducted.
Improving table comments and the scope of conclusions.
Determining whether additional data analysis is required.

What you will receive

Revised sections and a record of the changes

You receive the text with the agreed revisions made, rather than just a list of errors. Before starting, we agree which comments the work covers, how we understand the scope and how the document will be delivered. We can agree to use Track Changes or provide a summary of the work, so you can compare versions more easily.

We also check how the revised passage connects with the rest of the thesis. If a new paragraph introduces a concept, we make its later use consistent within the sections covered by the work. If resolving a comment requires a source, data or a decision from your supervisor, we identify what is missing and suggest the next step.

Revised sections within the agreed scope.
Consistency of terminology and references maintained.
Clear information about issues requiring further clarification.

Example of our working method

From a general comment to specific action

A comment such as 'too little analysis' calls for more than a longer chapter. We check whether the text only summarises publications or also compares the authors' positions and explains how they relate to the topic. Within the agreed scope, we develop the argument using available sources. If the comment says 'the conclusions are too broad', we compare their wording with the study sample and actual findings. These are examples of our approach, not extracts from a client's work.

How we work

Three steps to your revised material

We compare the comments with the document
We read the comments in context, identify dependencies, and determine which changes must be made before others. We present general or contradictory recommendations for clarification.
We agree on and implement the revisions
We confirm the scope, materials, file format, and the possibility of meeting the required deadline. Then we edit, supplement, or organise the indicated fragments.
We check the text after changes
We compare the result with the agreed list of comments and check consistency across the sections covered by the work. We deliver the document with the agreed record of changes.

First message

What should I send so we can agree the scope?

The current file of the thesis, preferably DOCX, with comments preserved.
The full message from the supervisor or a separate list of comments.
University guidelines and the approved thesis plan.
The publications, data and research instrument needed to make the changes.
The required deadline and an indication of which sections must remain unchanged.

Select the appropriate scope

What does the order include, and what do we agree on separately?

If you first need an independent assessment of the document without making changes, choose the service “Thesis review”.
Language and style corrections alone are covered by the service “Bachelor’s and master’s thesis proofreading and editing”. Methodology changes and recalculations are agreed separately after reviewing the materials.
We discuss any additional chapter, new requirements or later data with you before extending the work. We confirm the changes, the materials needed and how we will work on them.

We describe the study according to what actually took place. Include the current decisions about the research design so that revisions to the methodology, results and conclusions remain consistent.

Related support

If you first need an assessment of your document, choose a thesis review. If the feedback mainly concerns language and readability, proofreading and editing may be enough. Comments about methodology, research design or calculations may require those elements to be checked and the analysis repeated.

If publications are missing, we can prepare and provide literature for the agreed chapters. Extending the theory or restructuring the entire research section is agreed separately based on the comments and existing material.

Before contacting us

Questions about scope and material preparation

What should I send if I already have feedback from my supervisor?

Send the current version of the thesis, the supervisor's comments, guidelines, and the deadline. If the comments concern a specific chapter or results, highlight those sections. Based on this, I will define the scope of changes, the price, and the possible completion date.

Can you help me address my thesis supervisor's feedback?

Yes. Send the document with comments, the message from the supervisor, or a list of required changes. We can organise the comments and determine which corrections to make first: in the structure, methodology, sources, results, or the language of the thesis.

If a comment is general, e.g. "lack of coherence", "weak methodology", or "rewrite the text", we assess the indicated sections and propose specific actions. We define the scope based on the material and the supervisor's requirements.

What is the difference between proofreading and a thesis audit?

Proofreading and editing involve correcting the text. An audit serves to evaluate the thesis and indicate problems and priorities for further changes.

Can correcting one chapter require changes in other parts of the thesis?

Yes. A change to the objective, a concept or the interpretation of a finding may affect the introduction, methodology, discussion or conclusion. We check those connections and agree which sections the work will cover. We do not extend the scope to the whole document without your agreement.

How do you agree which parts of my supervisor's feedback are included?

We compare the comments with your current document and identify the tasks and materials needed. We confirm the scope before starting. Later comments or requirements are checked against that agreement. If they add to the work, we agree on the extra scope separately.
