Ema is a great presenter, she deserves a salary raise :)

[@ayoubelkhaif4873]

This channel is by far the best to explain the daunting concepts of research. I've watched a lot of your videos, and they've helped me plenty. Thanks for such a rich content! I have a suggestion though: I hope you could include some citations just for further reading.

[@user-zh6hm4yf5o]

20 minutes with you guys is worth years of sloppy and disconnected feedback - I wish I had started and not finished with your team. Thanks Emma & team for the excellent work & presentation

[@patriciareid1806]

Your explanation, Emma, is with so much ease and clarity. I love that. Yourself and Dr. Warren have been my friendly professors in my pocket.
Immense thank you

[@stevenkhoma3402]

Many thanks I am from India

[@shrikrishnavaidya291]

Loved it.. great insights

[@GradCoach]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PraveenUduweriya]

Thanks for sharing knowledge. I have a question. What’s the difference between problem identification and justification of the study? Shouldn’t the justification be the problem itself?

[@ndumferdy2545]

Excellent video!

[@GradCoach]

Glad you liked it!

[@evansjohnarek2271]

This Lady is so sweet, I love her so much she is good for me.

[@adanemedhanit2851]

Dear Anna, thank you for your knowledgeable presentation! My question is, can we have recommendation section, if we write the conclusion the way you presented? Again, thank you very much. you are helping us a lot.

[@inesquispe9609]

excelent !! thank you

[@GradCoach]

You are welcome!

[@joseroyal877]

I have already discussed my limitations both in the methodology and discussion chapters. Won't it be an overkill doing so again in the conclusion, or should I move everything to the conclusion?

[@lauraibrayeva9463]

Hi Emma, thank you very much for this video, I have a question, some PhD theses have implications and contributions of the study as separate parts. What is the difference between them? Thank you

[@GradCoach]

Yes, different institutions will vary in terms of structure. Sometimes this division is split in terms of practical real-world value (implications) and theoretical/academic value (contributions).

[@lauraibrayeva9463]

@@GradCoach thank you a lot! I appreciate your help

[@bossnessdesgarron4270]

If I have already covered the limitations in the introduction chapter, do I need to cover it again in the conclusion chapter? Is it better to have the limitations in the intro or conclusion chapter?

[@GradCoach]

Typically, the limitations would be discussed in the conclusion chapter. However, as we mentioned, your uni may have a different structural preference, so its always a good idea to check with them.

[@deasisjohncarl6121]

Thank you for this video. So informative. I've learned a lot Ma'am... 😉

[@GradCoach]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Hesbonful]

Thanks, My university demands a single and max two sentences of a conclusion.
Thumbs up if your institution asks of the same...

[@hafizahb1315]

[@evansjohnarek2271]

Honey, you are so lovely, best in brain and so helpful

[@bestlook431]

Do you have an Instagram ? Can you help us with how can one master the use of academic vocabulary as well as tricks for writing efficiently. Thank you for all the videos

[@GradCoach]

Thanks for the comment and suggestion re academic vocabulary. I'd recommend looking at the University of Manchester's academic phrasebank - www.phrasebank.manchester.ac.uk/
Re IG - we're not on that platform currently, but might expand in the future. We'll keep you posted.

[@pokyinvictorleung]

Thank you for the video. It is informative. However, it can be improved if there are fewer filler sentences that carry no information. Also, the filler stock video is quickly annoying as it flickers back and forth. At some point, I just turned off the video and listen.

[@GradCoach]

Thanks for the feedback.
