Norms

I am working on my MA graduation thesis. And it's not going well.
Authorities want you to be creative and work out new things; but there are so many regulations and norms you have to follow.

Just one little thing i want to complain about. Personally I think it's a very natural process that you came out with your research questions after the literature review since by then you'll have presented what's been done in related field and what're the limitations and then what you are going to do.

But no, research questions come in the third chapter-research design! Why is that? Why cannot we take a little bit liberty on that? I don't want to challenge them; I just want to graduate and start fresh. So i'll just compromise. Most of the time, compromising is easy for me, as long as they don't contradict with the principles that i hold.
