Before
writing a thesis, one must identify his audience first before writing rough
drafts, drafting works cited page or proofreading his work. All the other
options are on the situation where one is done or is currently working on his
thesis. Identifying ones audience is crucial because they will be the one who
will read, interpret and grade your work. You need to catch up with their
standards and write as if they are already reading your work on your thesis
topic.
