Hi all
My current research looks at whether there are any PhD or doctoral research courses (EdD etc) that offer a comprehensive, optional/mandatory coursework unit that teaches study skills and doctoral dissertation writing skills that earn coursework credit. I do not mean dissertation boot camps and I also do not mean research methods courses or courses that teach certain specific aspects of doc thesis writing. Any information will be helpful please.
As a gesture of my gratitude please see these free PHD writing books that are available as open access books. If these links don't work you can access them direct via Google Scholar with a few basic search words (author name and strong words from the title).
