Specific, prioritized recommendations with page citations and clear examples—not vague suggestions.
Generic comments like "improve your literature review" don't help. Dr. Dissertation provides specific, actionable guidance with exact page numbers, concrete examples, and clear steps to strengthen your dissertation.
"Your methodology section needs improvement."
"The literature review could be stronger."
"Consider revising your discussion section."
Page 47: Your sampling method description lacks justification for the sample size (n=150). Add power analysis calculations showing this size achieves 80% power at α=0.05 for detecting medium effect sizes (d=0.5), citing Cohen (1988).
Pages 23-28: Literature review covers 2015-2020 but misses 3 seminal works: Zhang et al. (2021) on remote learning efficacy, Torres & Lee (2022) meta-analysis, and Brown (2023) theoretical framework. These directly address your RQ2.
Page 89: Discussion jumps from finding #3 to implications without addressing how this contradicts Johnson (2019). Add 1-2 paragraphs reconciling this discrepancy using your unique methodological approach.
Every recommendation includes exact page numbers, so you know exactly where to focus your revisions.
Clear identification of what's missing, unclear, or needs strengthening—not vague critiques.
Detailed guidance on how to fix the issue, including what to add, revise, or restructure.
Relevant sources, frameworks, or approaches you can reference in your revision.
Not all feedback is equally important. Dr. Dissertation categorizes recommendations by severity, so you can focus on what matters most.
Issues that could prevent a successful defense if not addressed. These must be fixed before you can proceed.
• Missing research questions or hypotheses
• Methodology-data mismatch
• Insufficient theoretical grounding
Issues that will likely be raised by committee members and require substantive revision.
• Gaps in literature coverage
• Unclear limitations discussion
• Weak connection between chapters
Improvements that would strengthen your work but aren't strictly necessary for defense.
• Additional supporting citations
• Formatting consistency improvements
• Enhanced visual presentation of data
Stop guessing what needs to change. Get clear, prioritized guidance you can implement immediately.
