So I am writing a thesis and what I thought that meant is making some cool programming project and then basically explaining what you did, how you did it and why. But today I hear that I am supposed to do things like """research""" and """literature review""". Apparently one is supposed to find similar pieces of """research""" and build on top of it. This doesn't sound good bros. I have the thing entirely completed, minus a few grammatical errors on the document itself. What do I do?

You must have had a class on how to do research, how to cite a paper, how to look for books in a library, etc. No?

I am not trying to come of as condescendent at all, it truly baffles me because I had such classes starting in middle school all the way up to graduate school and they were mandatory. Isn't that the standard in higher education?
