About this audiobook
If you are a doctoral or Ph.D. learner (student) or considering becoming one; this is the book for you. This book is written for the novice researcher. Dr. Davis shares her personal story of her trials as a doctoral learner, her difficulties with a chairperson, her decision to quit her program and how the words "Thank You" helped her to successfully cross the finish line. Also included are, tips on how to choose your university, difference between a Ph.D. and Ed.D., how to find your need or gap, how to choose your chairperson, research techniques, relaxation techniques, her qualitative data collection experience, and tips on how to analyze your qualitative data. To give you a head start, Dr. Davis included some terms that you should become familiar with, websites that may help you, and visualization graphics to help you focus on your goals when you feel like giving up.
