Priest, Engineer: (Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it. Then he went up to the temple of the Lord and spread it out before the Lord)
I have examined 45+ PhD theses.
The same 3 mistakes appear in almost every one.
The research is usually sound. It is the thesis that fails to do it justice.
PhD Students - Here is an example of a good discussion section.
A good discussion section should answer 6 questions.
1. What is different in your findings compared to previous research?
2. What is similar in your findings compared to previous research?
3. How different sections of your results section correlate?
4. What are the implications of your findings for practitioners?
5. What are the implications of your findings for researchers?
6. What are the limitations or threats to the validity of your findings?
Anything you'd like to add?
A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

PhD Students - Which tense to use in your research papers?
Inconsistent tense usage is a common mistake.
And it matters more than you think.
Do you want to use the right tenses in your paper?
Here is a breakdown you can use right away:
↳ 𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭
Present tense → To state what the paper shows overall.
Past tense → To summarize what you did and found.
↳ 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 / 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰
Present tense → For general facts and accepted knowledge.
Past tense → For specific prior studies.
↳ 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐬
Past tense → To describe what you did.
↳ 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬
Past tense → To report your findings.
Present tense → When referring to tables and figures.
↳ 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧
Past tense → To restate your findings.
Present tense → To interpret what they mean.
Future tense → To recommend next steps.
↳ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧

En 2007, el profesor de Stanford Joel Peterson impartió una clase de 1 hora sobre cómo negociar y obtener lo que quieres.
Sus 3 ideas:
→ Nunca muestres necesidad

PhD and DBA examiners no longer test theses on methodology first.
Four other things fail you before we even open that chapter.
After examining 45+ theses, here is what we check first.
