Dissertation Consulting

Dissertation consulting is a act of consulting with graduate students about their dissertation. The dissertation is qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods research that has four basic chapters. The first chapter is the literature review that discusses the broad field of study, the rationale of the study, the purpose of the study, and culminates in a set of research questions and hypotheses. The second chapter is the method section that describes the participants in the study, the instrument or survey to be used in the study, the variables to be assessed, the procedure to administer the instruments to the participants, and the statistical analysis to be performed. The third chapter is the results chapter where the descriptive statistics describe the participants and the statistical analysis that were used to examine the research questions. The fourth chapter is the discussion section that reiterates whether the hypotheses were supported, the practical and theoretical implications of the findings, and suggestions for future research.
