IIR/CSSR/PSA Professional Development Series: Getting it “Done”

How to Complete a Quality Dissertation or Thesis without “Finishing”

Wednesday, March 22, 2023 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM EDT
Online via Zoom

As part of the IIR/CSSR/PSA joint professional development series, we are hosting a Zoom panel discussion related to a common graduate student problem. Many students get “stuck” as they are moving ahead from a topic to a concrete research question; or from an outline to a full document. Our panel will discuss how to get past this point and not obsess on the perfect dissertation or thesis but rather how to complete a quality product in a reasonable time.
