Package Description:
The dissertation proposal is the crucial last step before you officially become a Ph.D. Candidate. Writing a good proposal and successfully defending it can be very daunting. I can help you determine what topic is appropriate, provide detailed and constructive comments on your proposal, and assist you as you prepare to defend it in front of your advisor(s) and other faculty members.
What you'll get from this package
You should walk away from our sessions with an excellent dissertation proposal and a clear understanding of what the defense will be like, along with the skills and confidence you need to ace it.
Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions and .
We will have a one-hour live session over video to discuss your ideas for your dissertation proposal and plan out what you'll need to do to write it. As you produce drafts, I will offer asynchronous comments and suggestions. Once you're ready to think about the defense, we will talk over a one-hour live session to discuss what you can expect and even role-play your defense to help you feel prepared for whatever your faculty members will throw at you.
