Universities tend to be vague about expectations for dissertation and thesis writing when it comes to the discussion and concluding sections, these are often where our dissertation consulting clients encounter the most difficulty. Our experience allows us to help you with your dissertation’s concluding chapters, assisting with:
- Synthesizing your research with a theoretical or social problem: Outlining a conceptual framework for your study and connecting it to contemporary issues in your field can be one of the most difficult, research-intensive, and time-consuming portions of building a dissertation. We’ll ensure your theoretical or conceptual framework guides your final sections and that the impact of seminal work on your study (and vice versa) is clearly demonstrated.
- Reiterating and differentiating the foundational elements of your study: It is easy to conflate your research problem, purpose, and significance sections, particularly at the end of the dissertation process when you’ve discussed these foundational elements in depth many times before. We can help clarify these guiding elements of your dissertation research and contextualize them with your findings. Our expertise with research design and methodology (for both quantitative and qualitative research) allows us to help you explain your study’s results in a way that fits your university’s requirements.
- Clarifying your method, design, and hypotheses: We can help discuss your hypotheses (whether your results were expected or the opposite!) and ensure your hard work and research is presented to demonstrate its full impact in your chosen field.
- Looking to results and past research: Perhaps most importantly, as part of our dissertation assistance, we can build on your literature review and help you organize an impressive discussion chapter that analyzes your results in terms of your identified research gap and previous research in your field.
