Hi,
Is this no longer available? The link doesn’t seem to be working
I reckon 3 months is the standard time for writing a thesis. after all you have years to complete the actual PhD. As long as you follow a stuctured programme. 3 months of full time write up is plemty!
I just wanted to thank you for your effort! Your website and the clips on youtube are so helpful… I’m really a lot more relaxed now. So you have helped make me (and I’m sure that there are a lot of people that could say that) a happier person and for that you shall gain the promise of certain entrance to paradise after you have left this world!
Hi. I am doing a PhD on a part-time basis. I give it one day a week.
Do you have advice on how to structure it part-time?
Have a clear idea what you want to do with that one day per week before you get to it!
