Winter Quarter

As we begin December and the start of winter quarter, it is time to consider your work habits. How can you be more productive with your dissertation? I strongly suggest you pick up my 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 on Amazon: 

"An excellent book for doctoral students who are working on their dissertation. The book provides a step by step guide in how to develop a prospectus to writing your final dissertation chapter. Tips on motivating self is worth reading multiple times. There are many books that try to explain the dissertation process, but fail to answer clearly the students questions. This book is easy to read and a book that should be kept on your desk in eye view, at all times. I encourage all dissertation students to add this book to your library. You will find the book is an excellent reference guide just like the APA Manual book."  

" For any student pursuing a doctorate, this book will be your guide. It is an easy read yet packed with practical and important information to help you achieve your goal of a "done" dissertation! Dr. Stadtlander utilized her wealth of knowledge and experience to create a text for the benefit of all who choose to pursue a doctorate. Thank you for such a reference! I strongly recommend this book. " 

Make yourself a commitment to do all you can to get your dissertation done! 

Next time, I will return to issues in data collection. 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
