How to Smash - or At Least Pass - Your Dissertation or Thesis
I created a video course! I had the idea, at least more than a year ago now, to create some type of video teaching course that would help students feel confident in the face of their final year – or post-grad – dissertation, or PhD thesis, so that they wouldn’t fall into a pit of despair and end up in tears like I did (I cried at many points during my PhD as well…). It might be different nowadays, but when I was going through it I didn’t feel like there was much - if any - guidance.
If, like me, you don’t have much time to watch or read things online, because you usually have a million things to do, but would like access to the content of the course, I have uploaded the audio-only versions of each video below.
