Watch Ultimate Thesis Guidelines

In this video presents an idea of how to present your thesis (as to inspire you). Also, you will also learn how to improve you body language during your defence (e.g. steeple and open palms) and a three-step procedure for handling difficult questions: (1) thank, (2) clarify and (3) answer.

This video provides you with additional resources of several Universities around the globe. Resources include (1) writing guidelines and exercises (of Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Manchester University and University of Southern California) and (2) thesis assessment criteria. All these resources are freely downloadable from the Internet.

This video explains - my personal way - of backing up your work. Also I'll explain how to handle tough time that will inevitably happen. The latter is not often tough explicitly by universities.

This video will explain why you need to create references, why you need to do so automatically, and how you can create references using Microsoft Word.

This video will present a three-step procedure of writing an effective conclusion. The three steps are: (1) summarise previous sections and your research objective, (2) summarise your key results and (3) state the implications of your research. The three steps are explained with an example.

This video explains how you can critically reflect on your own work. The limitations of your study (e.g. sample size) can often be turned into future work (e.g. future researchers should replicate the study with a larger sample size). This episode is also explained with an example.

This video will provide two points of attention that you'll need to address: (1) what do your results mean for other scholars and (2) what do your results mean for practitioners? The points of attention will be explained with an example.

This video will provide with a conceptual explanation of three regression models. The three models are: (1) simple regression model and (2) moderation (or interaction model) and a mediation model.

This video will explain how you prepare for qualitative (interview) data collection. Topics discussed include: (1) select interviewees, (2) interview structure, (3) transcribing interviews, and (4) data triangulation (e.g. collect data from multiple sources).

In this video both quantitative and qualitative data collection is discussed. Furthermore, sources of examples papers are presented that handle: case studies, external data based on magazines, observational data (with action research), and survey data.

This video will provide you with a four-step procedure for writing a literature review. The steps are: (1) Structure your search for related work, (2) Structure your findings and (3) Support your contentions. The steps are explained with an example. By following this procedure, your thesis will have the rigor that is expected by your supervisor.

This video provides you with a four-step guide to write an effective introduction. This four-step procedure is a best practice and is derived from scientific literature. The sources of these best practices can be found in the video itself.

This video explains how you could select a topic and provides a concrete example. Furthermore, you will learn how your effort is divided per research phase. This is relevant when you want to allocate and plan your time in advance. Last but not least, you will learn how to monitor your progress.

This video explains how your thesis will be evaluated by your supervisor. In short, your supervisor will assign the highest grade to a thesis that can be published. This can be attained when you structure and mimic the work of high quality journals within your field. I've developed a formula of success that may help you. Success = Relevance * Rigor * Readability.

This video introduces the course host and explains the added value of this course. You will learn: (1) my formula of success; (2) what makes a good topic; (3) a four-step procedure for writing an effective introduction; (4) a three-step procedure to conduct your literature review; (5) how to clean your dataset; (6) how to handle interviews; (7) how to analyse interview data. And more! Get started!
