I am thrilled to announce that I am now offering 1-2-1 and small group supervision sessions! This is a fantastic opportunity for you to receive personalised guidance and support as you navigate the challenging journey of completing your dissertation or thesis.



Here’s why you should get my personalised support:



👉 *Personalised Guidance* - Each session is tailored to your specific needs and research goals. You’ll receive individual attention and feedback on your work.

👉 *Expert Advice* - With 20 years of experience in supervision at all levels, I can provide valuable insights and advice that can help you avoid common pitfalls and enhance the quality of your research. I have over 1000 slides containing my own tips and tools that I can deploy to help you - What you see on YouTube is just a fraction of the tips and tools I have developed over time.



👉 *Flexible Scheduling* - Sessions can be scheduled at a time that suits you, making it easy to fit supervision into your schedule.


👉 *Collaborative Learning* - If you pair up with other students and get my support in small group sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from the experiences and perspectives of other students, fostering a collaborative learning environment

Making the most of a cold which has kept me at home for several days, I managed to write quite a few blog posts to share on the www.dissertation.academy website.

Three are now published:
👉 Asking your supervisor for feedback on your quantitative research data collection plans? Include this information.
👉 The puzzle of writing: Comparing jigsaw puzzles and dissertations
👉 Qualitative data analysis - 8 recommendations of good practice

The posts for the rest of May and June are already scheduled. Posts are published every Tuesday at 7am BST.

Some of the themes I'll coverin future posts include:
📌Comparing your dissertation progress: Helpful or harmful?
📌Quantitative or qualitative research design? Key considerations when making a decision
📌Mastering the art of literature search

What topics would you like me to cover in the blog (or in the videos)?

I have posted the first entry on the dissertation academy blog. In this post I explain the FIVE essential components of a robust quantitative data collection plan: Dissertation Aim & Objectives, Conceptual Framework, Questionnaire Design, Population and Sampling, and Statistical Analysis. Including these areas will help your supervisor / tutor to have a holistic perspective of your plans, and be in a position to provide more comprehensive and meaningful feedback.

Finally back at recording, after a long pause!

Loving my re-decorated studio! The painted background makes so much difference, don't you agree?

On to editing the video - this time in two formats: the traditional long form video and four shorts.

It will still take some time as I am quite busy, it is the beginning of the academic year and I am changing my editing setup.

Watch this space!
