How can a lecture be so calming! I enjoy your style of communication; you pass the message in a way that assures the listeners that it will work and how it would work. THANK YOU, Dr. Cecile.
I hope Cecile reads these comments this is such a wonderful presentation. I'm at Uni now trying to write my thesis and I have asked for help and nothing has come close to the insightful, evidence base, clear, concise step through that is in this video. It's has been really stressful of late with my writing and Cecile you have done what great teachers do and given me some fantastic tools to help order the chaos. You bloody ripper!!!!!! I hope all your days are blessed ones whatever that is for you.
Wow 😵 this is the best video about how to conceptualize a paper. Not only does she break down the components and flow of the paper, she gives you some techniques on how to do it AND she goes into BEHAVIORAL THERAPY!!! This should be talked more in highschool and undergrad because a lot of people struggle with writing!! 37:43 is when it just got real. I just thought it was just me being me but I'm glad you talked about it in such a calm professional manner and provided some solutions. You're an amazing woman for sharing thank you
Dear Professor Cecile, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge around the globe. Also, your style of speaking is clear and graspable. Thanks.
I am a theology student and I am doing my Thesis at the moment. This is my first time to hear your presentation in this video and it really gave me a lot of insights and it helped me to use them to continue my thesis writing. I really appreciate your work and I keep up with your videos and perhaps to share them with my friends. Thank you Dr. Cecille. God bless.
Thanks a Million for a wonderful presentation, giving the confidence that the turmoil one is going through is absolutely normal , and is a part of the struggle for any writer . Oh...what a relief. Thanks for all the pains you have taken to explain and narrate so beautifully and systematically.. 🙏..
This is the single most useful presentation I've ever watched regarding writing and I already feel this is going to help me tremendously. Now I can finally identify why I keep procrastinating so much. Thank you so much (this was all free writing by the way haha)!
I am writing my master thesis right now. Currently I am finishing the draft 1 of the thing you would call a literature review part. This video has given me clarity. Upon revision I will make this be more clear and I believe that I will now put more energy into what is important and make it less of an info dump than it would have been if I haven't watched this video. Wish I watched this years ago. It would definitely have helped me with my essays.
Can't believe this presentation is so helpful! I am working on the master dissertation and just felt soooo overwelmed. But how lucky am I found this video, thank you so mcuh for just let me know there's a way to clear everthing out.
This so so good. I have never been in a lecture so calming and assuring. Keep it up Doc. This make a PhD journal feel like everything is doable. Thanks again!
Thank you very much! You just made a daunting project look manageable for me! I love how you dissected the process through PPS&Q, and how you analyzed why I procrastinate. Most of all, I love how you helped me overcome procrastination with the technique you gave. My God bless you even more for your generosity.
Thank you! I work full time and am writing my M.A thesis in one semester. This process has been so exhausting. I am on my third chapter of four and am stuck. Your explanation of the editor and creative writer is right on!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for your presentation. My more than a semester in Research Methodology is greatly enhanced by your presentation here and in your other video clips. Again thank you for your generosity in sharing your expertise and making it available online.
This was a fantastic presentation, her voice was soothing and encouraging. I felt her confidence in her delivery which made me want to hear the whole presentation and look for others she has made. I have tried to listen to many others and I just leave after the first few minutes as they usually are very annoying, with the funky fast pace and visual aids, just overwhelming. Thank you Cecile.
Thanks a lot for this video... This content was something that I was looking for. Especially the PPS+Q was very enlightening in this video. Because it is very easy to flow to another topic while you are writing your thesis. PPS+Q can help you to focus on your scope and not to dive into another area. Sometimes you need a high-level plan to keep yourself on track. Therefore, I found it very useful. Thanks again!!
Thank you Cecile, this is an amazing explanation and has really helped me to understand the process. I am on the last year of my MA and will be starting my thesis. I have watched this presentation a couple of times and it has given me a lot of inspiration, I can't thank you enough😄
Dr. Badenhorst this is just an outstanding presentation on the issue of dissertation problem statement and writing. I also taught dissertation writing for many years and took the same approach as you in teaching graduate students to write the dissertation sections such as the problem statement step-by-step like that.
I managed to consolidate my ideas on many things as Dr B very logically presents what goes through her mind and it fits my mind beautifully. Changing the mind of a person equall to creating a new person. She therefore performing the creator god's task. My good wishes for Dr B to go on and on creating more and more creative people!
This is EXACTLY what I needed right now. I've been FREAKING OUT over writing the project to apply for a masters. I have only a week to do it, because I've been hardcore procrastinating for months. Through this video I discovered that I lacked the technical resources to do it (the PPS&Q, for example. No one's ever taught me that flow of work and I've talked to many people who are in the academia asking for help). And also, it made me realize that the difficulties I'm going through are common to everyone, which eases my heart a little bit. I thought I was just not cut out for this type of work... I think I'm wrong. Thank you so much!! 💜
Thank you for this clear and insightful lecture. You have given great explanations and build the audiences confidence to move forward with the task of writing a large project.
Thank you so much for the advise. I've always struggle with my writing. Been procrastinating my MSc thesis for too long. I now feel confident to just start, after watching this video.
Writing is not just about the text, but channeling and organizing! Anyone who is keen to read and respond to an application will choose communication strategies that can ensure results.
Very helpful video. Especially, the parts of the writing fluency and procrastination. I have started the intro chapter of my thesis, and your speech will motivate me to be much productive. I have enjoyed all of the seconds you have spoken. Thank you.
Excelent and useful explanation. Overall the channel is a great resource for PhD or master students. It offers very clear explanations and concrete examples and tips which prove extremely helpful. Excellent work!!!
Unpacking the PPS&Q scheme, explaining how writing occurs, providing strategies and addressing the emotional challenges we go through when embarking in such a complex process, all together make your presentation 'holistic'. Thank you and please, keep sharing your brightness and experience to help researchers' formation ad contribution to academics :)
This is an excellent video and explanations about so many important aspects to regard at the time to write a thesis, what for I feel very lucky to find it. It was so clear, comprehensive and useful to me. Thanks very much!
