3 Points to Choose the ‘Best’ Topic for a Thesis

Good research depends on many factors, and a well-chosen topic is that you should start with. You can know how to write and edit a thesis properly, but the final quality of the research process will depend on what topic is chosen. Make sure that the following points are applied to your thesis topic:

• Originality. A degree of originality is a key requirement for academic writing. Everyone hears about plagiarism issues at colleges or universities. In the case when you take into consideration the same topic that has been already explored, nobody will punish for that. However, you should keep in mind that it won’t be highly appreciated as well. Try to shed light on the issue from another perspective if you’ve already chosen an investigated matter. Otherwise, you risk not standing out in the academic field. Hopefully, you won’t pursue this path.
• Research interests. Always when you are short of ideas to cover, rely on the research interests – think of what could be interesting for people both in and outside the field of study, and get them excited about your research. In other words, your thesis should lead to answers for big important questions that are in mind of people.
• Manageability. Remember that developing any research idea means investing enough time and energy. However, there are some topics that are easy to consider, but much harder to write on. Think of the simplest way you will do your research, and how you would go about it. As a result, you should press ahead with the simple action plan first. Only then, you can make a final choice.

Although all these points play a great role in choosing a well-run topic for a thesis, you should stay within the proper context of the field of study to answer a research question to the fullest extent – an average idea that is well-executed is much better than a brilliant idea that is executed badly. Remember it and look at the example of writing on one of the dermatology topics.

The Impact of Hormones on the Skin

First and foremost, disbalance of hormones affects human skin that is caused by the number of problems such as consumption of non-organic food, inappropriate diet, and sugar balance, lack of sleep and exercise, and stress. Hormones are deeply integrated into chemical signals created in organs including adrenal glands, ovaries, and thyroid glands that influence other tissues. Estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid are the most important hormones that need to be regulated to have healthy skin and keep the body organism in balance.

Estrogen is primarily considered to be the female hormone that controls the reproductive system and fertility/libido levels. The decline of estrogens leads to the dehydration and poor skin as well as a small amount of blood flow to the skin. The skin becomes thin and sallow losing the accurate lines and healthy look. As a result, the wrinkles appear; the skin around the lips and eyes sags and loses its vibrancy.

To keep estrogens in balance, the person should consume natural foods adding flax seeds and soy to the diet that fasten estrogen metabolism. It helps to prevent the excess level of the hormone and protect the organism from such dangerous disease as breast cancer. Furthermore, herbs involving hops, maca, and black cohosh can also be used to increase estrogen levels in women. Bio-identical hormone therapy under the control of the well-trained professional can also be beneficial to regulate estrogen level.

Testosterone is a principally male hormone that is responsible for muscle and fat gain as well as stimulation of libido. This hormone helps to produce the sebum that is essential to keep the skin moist and nurturing. During the period of puberty and menopause, the levels of testosterone are on the rise that makes the skin too oily. That is why, in the teenage, individuals suffer from acne that may continue in the adult age if it is not treated. To manage hormone, people are recommended to avoid consuming dairy products and eat foods rich in zinc and omega.

The thyroid is another hormone which imbalance can cause dry skin or its thickening with reduction of sweat. On the contrary, the abundance of thyroid results in the smooth, flushed, and sweaty skin. The thyroid imbalance is exacerbated when the patient also faces difficulties with digestion and proper metabolism as well as fatigue. To improve the condition of the skin, one needs to consume fatty acids involving omega-3 that are present in walnuts, salmon, algae, and eggs. The poor diet lacking these fats leads to acne and makes the skin dry.

Now, we are sure our extensive experience and research enable us to reliably offer you the best, and the most current, options available – writing on any topic you wish.

Hopefully, we are useful for you so that you can say, “I manage to do my thesis as expected from me”.

Recent innovations in bio-medical technologies had made it possible to have a livelier and healthy skin. The field of dermatology has seen a tremendous development from the era of Botox to the current one of skin peeling. This business plan proposes the establishment of a Los Angeles area dermatology clinic that specializes in dermatology and provides cosmetic services under the hands of experienced providers. This clinic would provide the latest and most researched treatment options to the patients. The patients would be given the privilege to choose from a variety of treatment options. This plan recognizes the challenges in providing these specialized cosmetic services to the patient population of Los-Angeles and the neighboring Orange County.

School of Visual Arts Annual BFA Thesis Exhibitions Celebrate Works by 33 BFA Seniors

Mason Burns (CFA’24), a soon-to-be graduate of the College of Fine Arts School of Visual Arts BFA painting program, touching up one of his pieces ahead of the 2024 BFA thesis exhibitions.

Shows featuring painting, graphic design, sculpture, and printmaking are on view through May 11

Sophie yarin, jackie ricciardi.

Last month, BU School of Visual Arts graduate students were celebrated in a series of MFA thesis exhibitions. Now, the 33 graduating seniors in the College of Fine Arts Class of 2024 have a chance to showcase their work. 

This year’s two BFA thesis exhibitions comprise student work from four undergrad programs: painting, sculpture, printmaking, and graphic design. On view at the Faye G., Jo, and James Stone Gallery are works by painting, sculpture, and printmaking students, while graphic design theses are across the street at the 808 Gallery. 

It’s a big year for CFA: the college is celebrating its 70th birthday— founded as the School of Fine and Applied Arts in 1954 —and last month, the School of Visual Arts celebrated its first graduating classes in the new visual narrative and print media and photography master’s programs. This year, there’s also an all-new undergrad program that will see its first cohort of students walk at this year’s Commencement: the BA program in art .

The BFA thesis exhibitions are free and open to the public. As with the 2024 MFA thesis shows , we’ve compiled a sneak peek of works from each program for a preview of what’s in store for visitors. The captivating artworks, revealing both the depth and diversity of the talent at work in the undergraduate programs, are on view through May 11.

BA Program in Art

Launched in fall 2021, this program combines traditional studio arts curricula with a special focus on liberal arts research—with an eye to galleries, libraries, archives, and museums as rich repositories of information. Four students graduate this year.

The BA Program in Art capstone projects are at Gallery 5, 855 Commonwealth Ave., through Saturday, May 11. Hours: weekdays from 7 am to 8:30 pm and weekends from 9 am to 8:30 pm.

Grounded in rigorous studio practice, the School of Visual Arts undergrad painting program sets high expectations for its BFA students. After completing the school’s interdisciplinary Foundation Program , where students from all majors concentrate on the fundamentals of drawing, painting, sculpture, and art history, student-painters are encouraged to explore their individual passions in media from oils to woodwork to bookmaking.

This year’s nine BFA painting seniors represent a mélange of artistic styles and scope—works range from traditional portraiture to fish-eyed trompe l’oeil to stylized cartoonism and beyond.

Ryan Dempsey, Road to Nowhere VII . Oil on panel.

Hannah Roderick, A Little Blush Will Fix This! Acrylic and colored pencil on masonite and matte board.

Mason Burns, Things from Her Collection #1; Things from Her Collection #2. Diptych, acrylic on panel.

Consider the highly composed works by Mason Burns (CFA’24): perfectly arranged still lifes featuring objects—shells, feathers, pine cones, dried sea urchins—gifted to the artist by his photographer grandmother. His practice is inspired by hers—centering on the natural world, freezing it in time, his paintings serving as a visual diary.

Ryan Dempsey (CFA’24) also trains his focus on the natural world, but chooses to use natural landscapes—and, more specifically, natural light—as a juxtaposition to the harsh “blue light” of digital devices we’ve all become accustomed to. The result, a combination of printmaking and painting, evokes the lingering afterimages caused by flashes of violent light.

For her acrylic and colored pencil works, Hannan Roderick (CFA’25) uses an intuitive approach. Inspired by her own emotions and the workings of her subconsciousness, her paintings read like snatches of awareness (a glance, a reflection in a spoon, fish in a fish tank) that return, distorted and uncanny, in dreams. 

The BFA Painting Thesis Exhibition is at the Faye G., Jo, and James Stone Gallery, 855 Commonwealth Ave., through Saturday, May 11. Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 11 am to 5 pm. 

Undergrads in the sculpture program meet in intimate groups, allowing them to work more closely with faculty and one another, as well as with visiting artists. The curriculum focuses equally on technique, experimentation, and developing a unique visual language and point of view for each artist. 

This year, Bader Baroudy (CAS’24, CFA’24) is the sole graduating sculpture major. His method is directly influenced by a musician’s process of creation, derived from “a variety of musical artists’ lyrical world-buildings and sound palettes, dressed in a plethora of symbolic references emerging from mythological, theological, and biological sources,” he writes in his thesis statement.

Bader Baroudy, RiiiDE! . Plastic rocking horse, plaster, acrylic paint, liquid glass (resin), steel, brass wire, string.

Baroudy’s installations are perhaps more directly reminiscent of films, given his use of evocative, cinematic set elements like pink LEDs, a repurposed hobbyhorse, and stark, weatherbeaten wood. And in fact, many of his sculptures incorporate short films. 

The BFA Sculpture Thesis Exhibition is at the Faye G., Jo, and James Stone Gallery, 855 Commonwealth Ave., through Saturday, May 11. Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 11 am to 5 pm.

Printmaking

From etching to woodcut to silkscreen to cyanotype, there are endless ways for contemporary printmakers to express themselves, and the BFA printmaking program offers a variety of media for undergraduate students to explore. Conscious of opportunities to engage in interdisciplinary practice, the curriculum offers young artists the freedom to incorporate digital art, painting, sculpture, and more into their work. 

The two students in this year’s graduating BFA printmaking program capture the breadth of technical disciplines that the art form is known for, all while also showcasing their foundational talents in painting and drawing. 

Do Won Suh, Leaf Inside Pt. 2: What you don’t SEE . Monotype and hand drawing.

Angela Pistilli, Job Well Done . Airbrush aquatint etching on Rives BFK. 

Dowon Suh (CFA’24) views her art as something of an alchemical process that allows her to transform internal turmoil and self-criticism into moments of hope. The fantastical creatures she creates and manipulates through etching and monotype are manifestations of these strong emotions.

Angela Pistilli (CFA’24), a double major in printmaking and painting, is also fascinated with characterization, but her focus is tightly trained on the female form. Much of her work is a reflection of her passion for weightlifting. Pistilli’s women are gender-defying, muscle-bound nudes engaged in traditionally masculine pastimes like chopping wood and hunting, each confronting the viewer with a confident swagger. “In this carefully constructed world,” she writes in her thesis statement, “women always win.”

The BFA Printmaking Thesis Exhibition is at the Faye G., Jo, and James Stone Gallery, 855 Commonwealth Ave., through Saturday, May 11. Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 11 am to 5 pm.

Graphic Design

Graphic design undergraduates concentrate their work in four key areas: design for social impact, community-focused design, the portrayal and exploration of social phenomena, and the intersection of technology and graphic design.

“Our shared passion for the transformative potential of graphic design binds our individual explorations together,” writes Mary Yang , a CFA assistant professor of art, graphic design, and thesis advisor for the 21 graduating students in the BFA graphic design program. “While our design approaches differ, we find convergence in our shared experience of design as a lens for critique, culture, and connection.”

Drew Demeterio, Kabilin: The Filipino Arts Collective , 2024 . Digital media.

Artist Drew Demeterio (CFA’24) uses her graphic design practice to probe the inconsistency between her Filipino background and American upbringing. Perceiving a dearth of Asian, and particularly Filipino, practices in contemporary design, Demeterio founded Kabilin, a Filipino arts collective, as part of her thesis. As with many of her designs, the logo melds Filipino visual influences with her own aesthetic ideals.

Vincent Liu, Longevity . Hoodie.

Sophie Jurion, spread from Visions and Perceptions. Risograph zine.

Sophie Jurion (CFA’24, COM’24) was inspired by the book Mismatch: How Inclusion Shapes Design , by former Microsoft graphic designer Kat Holmes, to create a thesis that explores life with one of the world’s most common disabilities: vision impairment. Incorporating elements like Braille, alternative text, and screen readers into her work, Jurion alters the interactive relationship between the work and the viewer, and prods the experience of seeing in playful and unexpected ways.

Vincent Liu (CFA’24) moved from China to New Jersey as a child, but writes in his thesis statement that he didn’t feel comfortable with his cultural identity until college. His thesis, incorporating typography and graphic prints, is a candid look at his motivations for “caring about my culture after a long period of neglect,” he writes. “My projects utilize a methodology…[derived from] the traditional Chinese mind-set of building something new rooted in the past.” 

The BFA Graphic Design Thesis Exhibition is at the 808 Gallery, 808 Commonwealth Ave., through Saturday, May 11. Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 11 am to 5 pm. 

Opening receptions will be held at the 808 Gallery and the Faye G., Jo, and James Stone Gallery on Friday, May 3, from 6 to 8 pm.
