Hi guys,
Can anyone please share their idea about write up dissertation after completed data collection. what is your order/sequence of writing up dissertation. I was thinking start from methodology section, conclusion, then go back chapter 1 introduction. Could you tell me your preference of the sequence please?

Can anyone help me with this paragraph?

Quote From Hiini:
Does anyone have better idea to present this paragraph? Please give me some advice. Deeply appreciated.

[The role of facilitator is to presented the training information to the participants, as well as listen and learn from the other participants, and share her experiences and insights with them. Please keep in mind “THERE IS NO HEALTHCARE ADVISOR IN THIS TRAINING PROGRAM”. ]

Thank you everyone.

Seems to jump around tenses a bit .

I am unsure who is listening and learning- the facilitator (as the text suggests) or are the participant's learning from each other's experiences??

I would start with 'The facilitator will....'

Is there a reason for female pronoun?? I would change to their.

Why is the healthcare advisor bit in capital letters and speech marks? Just write that 'There will be no healthcare advisor present....'

thank you for your advice

Quote From pd1598:
Apart from it should be 'present' not 'presented' I don't think there's anything wrong with that paragraph.

thank you =)

about PhD confirmation paper

Quote From chickpea:
In that case, you probably need to go with what your supervisors think is most likely. It may just be one of those things that no-one has written a guideline about. In my own experience of submitting work (but not this type of document), I have never seen references or appendices included in a word count.

me too. Thank you =)

dealing with negative thoughts

maybe you will feel better when you hear my story. I study from home. i have been studying 8-12 hours a day six days a week which means that i work hard than other students. However, i didn't get that far as i should. a phd student normally take 6 to 12 months to get into their confirmation. Yet, it has been 14 months and i am still not get there yet. one of students who i know in our department, super lazy and only submit a very simple and brief research proposal. but she got her confirmation in 8 months.
i don't think my situation better than you at all. at least, you already come to the point of data collection. i am not even pass my first step yet. Anyway, hope my story will make you feel better.

Quote From HazyJane:
I agree with TreeofLife - there *are* common goals and hopefully a sense of community around those things with your fellow students. So broadly speaking, one doesn't have to feel completely isolated if one has contact with other PhD students.

But milestones rarely coincide, so most of the time the things you are working towards are not in line with other people's milestones, so those late-night/all-night sessions you end up pulling are a very solo affair. And at the end of the day, by necessity, nobody else will care about the content of your thesis as much as you yourself ought to, not even your supervisor. So I think it's worth emphasising that the PhD is far more of a solo pursuit than any taught course. That is most keenly felt during writing up I think, as it's a time when there is little opportunity for collaboration/interaction. The duration of the project, compared to Bachelor's/Master's projects also plays a part in the isolation.

The Thesis Whisperer blog has some posts that put across more eloquently what I think I'm trying to say:

thank you so much. these links are very helpful. =)

To AOE26,
my home is very far from my school too. So i study from home most time. i feel very lonely sometimes. i have been thinking about set up a phd group .we can meet regularly through skype to discuss everything. such as work, study, or life anything. to support each other. so we will not feel too lonely or feel no body care about us. if anyone think this is a good idea. maybe we can do it.

Quote From emmaki:
I am not a native speaker and I did my PhD in English.
I found that my writing improved by reading! I read a lot and not only related to my research. I think it helps to get a grip of the language. Of course I still make mistakes and I cannot use the language as a native speaker, but I have improved a lot

the same. but it seems that we're never good enough and can never be perfect.=( how to be perfect in academic writing.
