We assist master’s and doctoral candidates in any academic field. Our support may be focused on individual projects or assignments, or we can provide comprehensive assistance with requirements for full courses.
Pre-Thesis or Pre-Dissertation Coursework Assistance
To prepare master’s and doctoral candidates for their theses or dissertations, most universities require 1-3 years of pre-thesis or pre-dissertation coursework. Courses in core subject areas may also require research papers that build literature review skills and begin the process of developing what will eventually become the research topic for the thesis or dissertation.
Methods Courses
Quantitative methods and statistics: Courses in quantitative methods introduce you to research designs that are commonly used in dissertation research, such as correlational and causal comparative designs. Applied research programs may also cover intervention or quasi-experimental research designs.
Qualitative methods: These courses acquaint you with the applications of qualitative methods and cover the common research designs used for theses or dissertations, such as case study, phenomenology, and descriptive designs. Courses in qualitative methods also go over purposive sampling, interview protocol development, techniques for conducting interviews, and the role of the researcher.
