Another great dissertation tip for you.

How are you enjoying the my blog new post? Are there any topics we haven't yet covered that you'd like more information about? If so, just let me know.

This week offers another book recommendation.

Just wondered if you'd read or heard of the book “Writing the Qualitative Dissertation: Understanding by Doing?”

Author Judith Meloy helps define the pros and cons of a qualitative study, and discusses how to deal with the most common obstacles which arise in this kind of research. If you're going to complete a qualitative study, check this one out.

Ph.D Tip: Finish the First Draft Quickly

Aim to finish the first draft as soon as possible.

It can be tempting to hold onto your first draft until you get it just perfect (assuming it ever gets there). You may have visions of turning in the perfect draft and not having to rewrite or revise.

This can happen. It's just not all that likely.

The problem with waiting until the draft is "perfect" is that you re-work, re-write, and revise without any input or feedback from your advisor. If your argument is flawed (or even just a little "off"), you've spent extra time polishing up an argument which isn't quite right in the first place. If your approach is different than your advisor expects, you've completed substantial work which may need to be changed.

The approach I recommend instead is to draft the whole paper as quickly as you can and then turn it in for comments and feedback. By doing it this way, you're more certain of revising to an acceptable finished product, saving you time, energy, and effort.
