ONE-ON-ONE DISSERTATION COACHING
In-Depth Approach
What is it?
One-on-one Dissertation Coaching is ideal for those starting their thesis/dissertation (or proposal), and for those facing obstacles to progress due to personal or academic reasons.
Our aim is to enhance your academic research and writing skills while helping you establish a consistent study and writing routine.
To provide effective and systematic guidance throughout your research, we will focus on the following key modules within the context of your thesis.
1. Social Research
2. Scientific Method and Thesis Structure
3. Research Problem and Question
4. Literature Review
5. Theory and Hypothesis
6. Research Design
How will we work?
The following process will be repeated for each chapter of your thesis
Chapter Outline Drafting
-
Initial Meetings: We will start by examining the semi-structured academic or technical content of your chosen module in the context of your thesis.
-
Outline Development: As you progress with your readings, you will first create a general chapter outline, followed by a detailed chapter outline.
-
Ongoing Support: We will establish short-term, goal-oriented action plans and hold regular meetings to ensure you remain on track.
Chapter Draft Writing
-
First Draft: Once your detailed chapter outline is complete, you will begin drafting the chapter.
-
Progress Checks: We will schedule brief meetings every two weeks (or as needed) to review your progress and address any issues.
Written Feedback
-
Detailed Review: After completing the first draft of a chapter, you will receive comprehensive written feedback.
-
Focus Areas: The feedback will address technical and academic aspects of your chapter, as well as overall chapter organization, cohesion, and clarity of ideas, It will provide actionable solutions while adhering to the principles of academic integrity.
-
Final Evaluation: Following your review of the feedback, we will conduct a final evaluation and planning meeting.
