Let's face it, every student wants to complete assignments and do them well. But many students just don't have as much time as teachers think they do. It seems as if some teachers think they have unlimited time after school and weekend hours to dedicate to homework and class assignments. Many students work and have school activities and family obligations. There just isn't enough time in the day to get everything done. That's why you need quick ways to find topics for your thesis. Fortunately there are some great ways to find these terrific topics, without spending lots of time doing so.

One of the worst things a student can do for a thesis assignment is to not read the directions. If you don't understand the assignment, you can miss what the teacher is telling you to do. This can mean you can come up with a great thesis idea that doesn't meet the teacher's requirements and this costs you a letter grade or worse, means you have to redo the assignment. So take the time to read the assignment instructions thoroughly. Taking this time can often save you a lot of time in the end.

To come up with a quick topic for your thesis, take a look at your class notes. See what has been interesting in your class recently. This can often give you a great idea for your paper. The teacher will be pleased you select this topic as it shows you are paying attention in class. Best of all, choosing this assignment often means you have less research to do as you have class notes to start your research with. A class lesson can be the start of a great thesis idea and interestingly enough actually is something most students don't think about. Most of them try to come up with new ideas that haven't been discussed.

Another great idea is to take the topic at hand and to relate it to current events. So take the topic of Hamlet and somehow relate it to a current event. How could this relate to a current event in the local or international news? Relating it to a local news story would be of interest to your teacher as they would be impressed you are following a local news story in the community. Choosing an international news story would also be impressive as they would see your thoughts on world events. Either choice is an excellent idea and a way to learn more about the current events of today.

Something many students don't think of doing is asking the teacher for ideas. It may surprise you, but very often your teacher is happy to give you ideas for your thesis if you help with the thinking process. Share with them your ideas you have so far and ask for their input. Now, most teachers don't want to simply give you an idea without you learning how to create a thesis, they want you to learn how to create one on your own. However, if you are genuinely having difficulty doing so they are happy to help you with yours.

The key is showing them your research and asking them for their thoughts and input on your progress.
