Finding great topic most often feels like doing a great portion of the writing task. Always find topic that are of interest especially for you - the student. Don't go for any topic that even you feels boring and dry. Most research supervisor can come up with great recommendations. If there maybe conflicting ideas or researches with the topic that has been presented to you by your supervisor, you need to validate them. Once you have a rough idea of the research or dissertation topic, try to narrow down to ensure that the topic is not too ambiguous. Too broad a topic will just muddle up some thoughts that you may like to expose with your assertions in your project.
All essays and dissertations will both have introduction and conclusion which be filled with the argument or narrative presentations in between them. You have to make sure that you have arranged the writing well. In the introduction, you have to give the readers a glimpse of what you wanted to achieve or posit in your writing. Then in the conclusion, you have to tell what have you found out: which of the thought prevail or if the paperwork needs more research or if one of te idea needs to be break down to smaller, more focused research.
