Fall Quarter

Today begins fall quarter and a new beginning for you. How will you make this quarter a more productive one with your dissertation? I have a few suggestions for you. I have recently published a book Finding Your Way to a Ph.D.: Advice from the Dissertation Mentor that takes you step-by-step through the dissertation process. It discusses dealing with committee members, tips on writing each chapter and getting through the IRB process. Some recent reviews: 

"This book is an excellent guide to a graduate student who is looking to obtain a doctoral degree. The items included give you the description of each step of the way and what you may expect. Of course where you are pursuing your degree may change the exact information, but this gives a very good look at what to expect. This book will be at my desk for the entire journey and I am most grateful for its guidance!!!"  

"This is a great book for graduate students, a step by step guide to the dissertation process. I also, as a faculty member at a University, see this as a great tool for faculty who mentor dissertation students. It gives understandable advice, and tips for success. I highly recommend this book." 

In addition, I have recently started a Facebook page with additional inspirational tips: Facebook: Finding Your Way to a Ph.D. page Make yourself a commitment to do all you can this quarter to get your dissertation done! 

Next time, I will consider not asking questions due to lack of knowledge. Do you have an issue or a question that you would like me to discuss in a future post? Would you like to be a guest writer? Send me your ideas! leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
