How my Dissertation Got Approved? - A Story of a PhD Student
0 comments Posted by Dissertation at 9:01 PMI read through the content of a website and found a ray of light. I asked for the help from the guys of this website and they promised to help me. And with the help of these guys I successfully submitted my dissertation proposal to my supervisor, which he approved instantly. Later on it was approved by co-advisor and Dean of faculty.
After approval of dissertation proposal, it was the time to go into the real dissertation writing. Writing a dissertation was more than thousand time difficult than writing a dissertation proposal. But I again went to the same website and asked for help. The guys again promised to help and assisted me at every level of my dissertation writing. Finally, my dissertation was completed on time and approved by the faculty.
This is a part of the story that how my dissertation got approved. Read my full story here…
I am a marketing student and am doing a case study dissertation. How to do a case study on this? What would it consist of? Some case study for dissertation ideas would be greatly appreciated. Here are a few of the responses I got from other forums. I would greatly appreciate if you can add to it.
1. How to stay ahead of Chinese industrial surveillance in the US.
2. I would confer with an Indian Company that produces 'Odor-free and sweat-evaporating' first-class socks. The product is absolutely top-notch as established by the users, and has been test marketed in India (and even in the US, though in insignificant numbers).
They need a plan to enter the US market economically, thru channel partners (distributors/ wholesalers).
3. The courier industry, you have an interesting market in the UK with several verticals Domestic, international, sameday, B2B B2C.
THE MARKET HAS REACHED MATURITY SO SOME NEW IDEAS WOULD MAKE AN IMPACT
4. Impact of advertising on sales. Case study-GAIL co. Ltd, manufacturing of aluminum products(utensils etc)
5. Have you had any experience working or studying with international students at your University? One possibility would be to do a case study on how to attract a specific group or type of international student to your University. Apart from being an interesting study, it could be of real value to your University dissertation(and others) should you be interested in making a career in this field afterwards. You may even find you receive a lot of support from academics, staff and students if you were to do your research in this area.
By choosing your own University, it should be easy enough to find out what its competitive strengths and weaknesses are in relation to other Universities within the higher education sector in your part of the world. From there, you could begin to put together a business development plan including a marketing strategy. A marketing plan would naturally include what student life and ways of living are like in your University and how to make it more appealing than other universities, as part of an overall strategy to attract international students (possibly at a minimum level of academic achievement, in a specific area of study, or program) to your University.
Questions could include:
What is the overall size, characteristics and trends of the international student market internationally, within your country, and area you live?
What criteria do international students use when when searching for a University?
How do they carry out their search?
Is student life and ways of living an important criteria in helping them (and their parents) make a decision?
What sort of academic programs, services, facilities or lifestyle factors would help sway a prospective student's choice?
Who is the decision maker?
and so on.
My final year project is a company based case study. I will welcome any suggestions.
Anthropology Dissertation: in which areas/topics would you like to see more research done?
0 comments Posted by Dissertation at 1:02 AMHello All Dissertation Students,
I am in the process of finding out a topic for a anthropology dissertation , more specifically in forensic anthropology. Although I am quite sure what I want to do, I am interested in having views of others in the fields, and where they think research is lacking. With a bit of luck, my ideas will be amongst the areas suggested!
I am particularly interested in your thoughts on the fields of forensic anthropology, bioarchaeology, and human osteology to write my social anthropology dissertation. Not so much paleoanthropology (unless it is about AMHs, and then perhaps it might be of use).
As for the research on sexing/ageing...I do think it is imperative to keep trying out the methods and finding methods for isolated bones. This can help keep the methods fresh and constantly make improvements to them. Also, the isolated bone methods can be of use in trying to recognize unidentified remains or help un-mix commingled remains.
That is why I am trying to see if others have noticed areas missing needed information. I have been doing literature reviews (especially Journal of Forensic Sciences and American Journal of Physical Anthro. to find topics I feel need more information, but sometimes others see things that a person can miss on their own.
Do you have any specific areas that you've noticed?
The response to my question I received is as follows:
Response:
Often times dissertations are based on improvements to or gaps in research already conducted. While it may get your degree, this is safe...and boring. Unfortunately, a lot of the research that can be conducted in forensic anthropology is this sort of improvement-based research. I've read numerous papers, theses, etc. on new (and obscure) ways to age, sex, etc. a skeleton. This stuff can already be done. I don’t care if the sphenoid can be used in age determination (which I don't think it can, but you get the point).
I suggest that you sit down, pretend that you are a child and ponder the mysteries of the field. Find something that's hardly been touched...or think of new ways to interpret things. My adviser once told me that what he likes most about new students is that they haven't been corrupted by the field. If you can find a topic that you're really passionate about it will make the research so much easier.
I'd like more research on various indigenous agricultural technologies, including Egyptian use of the Nile River delta and examples of relatively high standards of living which complemented the natural world.
Also, I would like more emphasis in proper representation of the physical features of ancient civilizations. For example, no more white Egyptians or white Jesus.
Finally, I am interested in variable diets of indigenous people and the effects of such diets on their physical bodies... for example, did some people have better eyesight than others? or did some people have fewer diseases than others?... all of which relating to diet, of course. I hope this will help in writing anthropology dissertations.
What should be written in methodology part of dissertation?
0 comments Posted by Dissertation at 9:07 PMThe methodology section should contain all of the steps you used to collect your data, invariably called as dissertation method. It should provide enough detail so someone could replicate the process exactly.
For writing dissertation methodology chapter, you have to choose appropriate methods for dissertation. Some of the dissertation methods you can use are as follows:
• Classification dissertation research method (people recognize the object, try to understand and to differentiate them);
• Experience dissertation research method (people try to find the solution of the problem being guided by their intuition and experience);
• Experimental dissertation research method (people test their hypothesis by taking a practical test);
• Participant observation (people observe the actions and the reactions of some individuals or group of people);
• Statistical analysis (people collect the data, analyze it and explain it).
Make a list of all the disadvantages of the other dissertation research design compared to the one you have chosen and then write down why you chose your method over those ones. e.g. chose snowball sampling because it allowed me to gather information quickly whereas if I had used strata sampling it would have been more time consuming.
3 FREE MSc Marketing Management Dissertation Topics!!!
0 comments Posted by Dissertation at 11:21 PMIf you are presently studying MSc Management and have undertaken your undergrad in BA Marketing Management, then you may well have to write an MSc marketing management dissertation to get your masters degree.
And the very first problem you will be facing is finding a dissertation topic. This article will surely help you define a dissertation topic question so that you can start writing your dissertation in marketing as quickly as possible. More precisely we will be looking into: marketing and the recession. I will try to link these too together.
For writing your university dissertation I would definitely suggest trying to narrow down your marketing dissertation topic and focus on one type of marketing. For example, if you wanted to talk about direct marketing and specifically direct mail, you could make a correlation to the US Post Office which had the largest rate increase for direct mailers in the beginning of 2008. They also recently have requested the government to allow them to switch from delivering 6 days per week to 5 (Mon-Fri, cutting out Sat.) as well asking for financial assistance to pay for employees benefits among other things. The relationship between direct mail marketing and the post office suffering from the recession could lead to a number of discussions such as:
How the rate increase in direct mail has caused marketers to look for alternative ways to promote their business such as email and social media which are less expensive.
What the effects of the recession and the post office increase have on marketers and their response rates now that many are gearing away from their dependency on direct mail, which has consistently had the highest response rate. Are lower cost promotions yielding the same benefits and is the ROI equivalent?
Just some thoughts. You could probably talk about any of these without mention of the post office changes as well.
It will always be helpful to make a result/actionable output from your marketing dissertation. If you can come up with a solution as well, reflecting an optimistic perspective on Depression, it would be relevant to the faculty as well.
In that context, you could look at the following options:
1. Do specific analysis for consumer segments (impact based on demographics & psychographics), change in their needs / wants, the impact of the environment, and additional segments that have been created due to the economic environment
2. You can also look at, as mentioned above, change in the marketing approaches (addressing insecurities or encouraging spending), and innovation in ATL/BTL activities due to recession
3. Do a market analysis of what is the ideal portfolio across different product categories / items to be marketed during recession and the specific approaches for the same.
These are some of the alternative areas worth exploring in your dissertation paper.
I am doing my MBA from Ireland in international business. I have worked with construction industry for couple of years including a stint in gulf area and I needed to submit my dissertation this semester. I have a special interest in business development and wanted some suggestions for dissertations titles specifically focusing the Ireland industry. I was browsing through the website when I found this dissertation help website providing dissertation writing help. I didn’t know that they also offer help with dissertation writing along with FREE dissertation topic. Anyway, here is the list of good dissertation title they sent me after my request:
2. Business and Financial Analysis of a domestic business in Ireland expanding towards International Trade.
3. Impact of IT development in FMCG sector.
My supervisor really liked the first topic and now I am writing a dissertation on it. The free dissertation titles service really helped me in getting off with my dissertation writing quickly. I would like to know other people’s experiences on that…
Review of A Website Giving FREE Dissertation Example!!!
0 comments Posted by Dissertation at 8:37 PMI am doing a dissertation on social work and needed to see some dissertation samples to get an idea of how to write a dissertation. After doing the research over the internet, I found there are quite a few digital dissertation available for download but I didn’t know whether they were approved or not, why was it available for public etc..
The page also talks about the disadvantages dissertation example can bring as well as how to make good use of the downloaded dissertation sample. All and all I did learn a few good things about dissertation writing especially, how to make my dissertation writing better using a dissertation sample even if it is not related to my topic or subject.
I would recommend them to students who are in search of good dissertation samples and also appreciate members sharing their dissertation writing experiences.
Well, it largely depends on the subject but generally the first three chapters would be your dissertation proposal. And the length may be some where 5,000 to 8,000 words. That is at BA level, if you're doing MA or Doctorate then it'll be much bigger!!
My proposal for dissertation was by no means exemplary but I included:
2. The key questions I would ask and explore
3. Contrasts that would form a structure/motor for the thesis
4. A comprehensive list of the main critical voices I'd be engaging with and why
5. If I was resolved to form a clear conclusion then what was my conclusion and show clearly how my arguments led to this conclusion (in other words prove that my argument was logically sound)
Following is an outline on how to write a dissertation proposal or how your dissertation proposal should look like:
If you are writing a dissertation proposal that it should be approximately 40-45 typewritten, double-spaced pages (exclusive of notes and bibliography). It should have:
a) An Introduction which clearly states the problem and its significance. What research questions do you intend to answer in your dissertation? Do you have a preliminary hypothesis or set of arguments?
b) A Discussion or Literature Review which situates the research problem in the context of current debates and research. What are the key unsolved questions in your field and how do you plan to speak to them?
c) An Approach section that sets out the sources, methods, and procedures for the scholarship. What do you need to know in order to write the dissertation? How will you find out?
d) A tentative Outline of Chapters which breaks the project down into manageable sections. Keep in mind that you can’t get too much done in a single dissertation chapter—it is not much bigger than a big seminar paper.
e) A preliminary Bibliography, including all materials reviewed in the Discussion/Literature Review section.
All written material must be presented in accordance with the stylistic regulations of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research and must include appropriate documentation, footnotes and bibliography.
3 Dissertation Help Secrets Revealed By A Professor Ensuring You Pass With First Class Honors
0 comments Posted by Dissertation at 11:34 PMI bet most of you think of us (dissertation supervisors) as blood sucking vampires who force students to do tons of research only to reject all your work and make you do it all over again. I have even been forced to make one of my students redo his whole dissertation on the final day of submission.
So the last things you want is the pin-point dissertation help from a dissertation advisor who made his student do his whole dissertation on the final day. That would be like asking the devil to lead you to the way of heaven.
So coming to the point lets get started with the secrets.
SECRET 1 # Start Researching Your Topic At Least 1 Month Before Taking Up A Dissertation.
You don’t need much help with dissertation if you know your topic well. I have seen many students just pick a topic randomly because they think it is easy, but then realizing very late that they misjudged a man eating witch for a beauty queen. Your dissertation topic should be such that you can get a lot of and I mean a lot of information. More complicated the topic less likely you will get any information and in addition you are also likely to become a pain for your dissertation mentor because you would be popping by every other day asking help for dissertation that even Einstein himself would have difficulty doing.
SECRET 2 # Set A Daily Routine For Research Work
“No problem mister Bentley. I will do every thing by the end of the week.”
Every student who comes for their dissertation writing help says more or less the same thing. They will do it later not now. Set aside only 1 hour daily for your dissertation research work. Most of my students leave every thing for the last day. That is why I get to hear the lame excuses like “I had to donate blood to a dying patient or I was helping out the poor in this cold”. I bet if students use the same creativity they use for their excuses daily for their dissertation’s sake they will never need to ask for dissertation writing help.
SECRET 3 # Treat Us Dissertation Advisors As Advisors, Not Your Secretaries Who Are Going To Do The Whole Dissertation For You!
Nearly every student will come to the advisor hoping he would be a spectator and the advisor would complete the dissertation for him. Remember this, the dissertation advisor is there to only advise and provide you with dissertation help. Not do your dissertation for you. Follow our advice and guidelines. We know what we are doing. After all if you succeed we won’t have to deal with you again the next semester.
