The most valuable part of this video was definitely @36:23 (how to gather sources), 39:01 (creating a literature matrix) and 41:08 (organising your sources) ! Thanks!

1.Five sources a week x 5 quotes from each source which can produce 400 quotes in 16 weeks!!!
2.Build an environment to write your dissertation.
3.6-8 hours 3 days in a week that’s golden!!!
4.Give your first energy to your first priority when you start a day, and your first priority of the day is DISSERTATION!!!
Golden Rules Dr. Thank you so much.

Your video not only clarifies much of what was troubling me in moving forward, but also helped relieve some of the stress I was feeling about difficulties I was having. Hearing that feeling lost, confused, ill prepared, and overburdened are typical in this kind of endeavor really let me know that I'm not as lost, confused, ill prepared, and overburdened as I actually feel. Thank you for taking your time to help people like us to complete this daunting task.

Dr.Guy is the best tutor I have ever met. He is intelligent, smart and full of charisma.I will recommend him to any one who really have problems dealing with his desertification to contact him. I play his lectures every morning for 30 minutes before I shower to go to work He has a huge experience in research work and he is not greedy.He is sharing the knowledge.He is very good.

Man!.. I have enrolled in a Doctoral program at NCU and failed to complete my dissertation. I wish my chair would provided me with the mentor and guide as you have stated in your video here that I needed to be successful in my dissertation. I have come all the way by passing every single class, completed my comprehensive exam to my dissertation, spent a lot of money for the I call "my life journey" and failed my Doctoral dissertation and not completed my program. If she would just gave me a phone call, or personal email and direct me in the right direction or to your video, I'll successfully completed my dissertation and completed my doctoral program. Thank you Dr. Guy for your explanation. My next journey I will not be the same and I will be more ready and be successful. Boun Xiong.

I'm a Msc student. I'm really lost at the stating point and fed up of my theses and search every where in the internet accidentally, i watched your video. it is encourage me lot and 100% useful. Thank you very much.

[busolat]

Thank you Dr Guy! I am in my final year of my PHD, but this has really given me clear pointers. Wish I had found this video 2 years ago!

[rohinimpaul]

I loved this video. It is an eye opener for me. I should have known it before. I am rewriting the literature review and struggling for time. I did all that negative stuff. I lost all my time. Now I have to pick up pieces and move forward.

[mengistumusie]

I am 58 years old man, English as a second language. Now decided to carry my lifelong dream of possessing a doctoral degree. I was hoping one of my two children could go forward to earn an advanced level, to meet my wish, but both, for now, are not concerned. And that prompts me to go on at this age. God willing, I am embarking on my first class June 21 at University of Phoenix online for “Business Management and Organizational Leadership”. Listening to your free advice “how to write a literature” really helpful. As I stated I did not see the first class, but when I’m expecting anything that could hold valuable information, here I found yours, and I am grateful having it. Thank you so much.

I loved this video!! I loved the literature matrix, the cutting and taping the quotes together, and the post it notes. My goal is to get my dissertation finished by February 2022, my doctoral program got derailed by a cancer diagnosis, but the cancer gave me my dissertation topic and a reason to get back to life. You have inspired me to get my dissertation completed in 8 months! You're right, dissertations should not be this thing that keeps you from life! I'm excited! Thank you.

[j.b.]

Hi all, I am hear to say that it CAN BE DONE. I did use Dr. Guy's advice in several areas. I finished the dissertation and successfully defended the research on June 21, 18. Call me Dr. J.B. Remember everyone, you can keep dwinking with the work until the cows come home. FINISHED is BETTER THAN 'Perfect.'

[celestepinckney]

I sincerely appreciate the training video. I needed to hear a voice. I am an online student and unfortunate for me, I may need the brick and mortar.
Thank you Dr. Guy!

[dr.johnsoluntasmithjr]

I am the happiest person probably today on my journey for a strong and scientific research as a Ph.D. Candidate. I am so inspired by the lecture, particularly the idea of developing a matrix for the literature review, reading 5 books per week and recording 5 quotes are the key messages for me now. Thank you very much. I have just been reading throughout without getting anything done. I am also happy to know that I should read old books as well, a lot of people said to me that I should concentrate on the new articles and books in my field. I am a student of Economics with a concentration on firms level analysis on International trade and its implications for developing economies. I am signing up for your class now...

[ramonagresham]

I am starting the doctoral program and the Literature Review seems to be overwhelming. However, Dr. Guy's explanation of the dissertation process makes it more simplistic. In particular, reading five articles, writing five quotes per week from the article, and creating a word document.

[maribelaglipay]

Thank you for affirming some of the things I have already been doing (instinctively) and for adding a few more tips that I can use like doing the matrix. I've struggled with how to organize all the materials I have gathered in the last few months. Most of all I appreciate your acknowledging the feelings that I've gone through in this journey--isolation, confusion and self-doubt. It is good to know that I am not the only one who felt that way. Thank you so much! Am ready to move forward again.

[rolav]

I found the collecting and organising part most useful. Specific advice at the end about sources and quotes was also useful.

[thegoddessqueshanta]

I've watched this video no less than two time making notes as I go along and pulling new nuggets everytime .... this has helped me tremendously.

[ddu]

Omg - Everything you shared in the first 3 1/4 minutes is everything that I have felt and have said to myself on this Master's journey
