I had reached a point in my PhD where I had stalled with my writing. At that time the email arrived detailing the course. It has been a very useful and informative boost to my writing and my confidence. I would recommend it to others who are looking for additional help or feeling overwhelmed. It can really help you.

I took the writing course which has proven so valuable. I was able to take the advice to overcome procrastination from not knowing where to start and feeling disorganized. It also helped me to have clearer conversations with my advisor when discussing my prospectus, talking in terms of aims and objectives has been a game changer!

Just started a PhD and literally had no idea where to start, what and how to do it. You have provided me with some vital tools to start this exciting and terrifying journey. I like that I can come back to it whenever I need over the course of the next 5 years (part time). Thank you for the incredible effort that has gone to make this programme of work sharing your knowledge and understanding on the subject to help others on their journeys.

Wanted some suggestions for structuring chapters. I found this course very helpful.

A very concise and insight full course which provided the main points that all PhD students want to hear to help focus their studies.

As someone who is neurodiverse i found this course amazing. It has helped me create structure and order in what can be a confusing and overwhelming process. The layman language and the personal examples made the course feel like a conversation rather than a lecture. And the worksheets are a lifesaver. Absolutely worth the investment at any stage of the PhD process.

I reached out to the PhD People because I was struggling with structuring my thesis. I am a neurodiverse student and shoehorning my creativity and PhD into academic conventions was too challenging on my own. With the support of the writing course I now have a structure to follow. This means that I can focus on the content and showcase an in depth knowledge of my topic. The service you provided was affordable, concise, and most importantly, in plain English! Thankyou for all your help. I have recommended you to all my cohort!

Support and guidance in how to write and structure my thesis. The course has given me confidence and I will be able to refer back to it during my PhD. The service feels like an extra arm of support for me to reach out for extra guidance or support when needed

I started my PhD two years ago and I felt like I was running in circles. My chair told me I did not seem to understand what a PhD was about so I took a year off to get some clarity. I took this course to help me gain that clarity. Lesson nine was the most impactful as I struggle with imposter syndrome. I loved how the information was given in bite sized pieces so that I could progress at my own pace. I see myself going through the lessons over and over as my knowledge and skills grow. Thank you for making this resource available.

I am struggling with the Literature review chapter. Chanced upon your site. Lessons are a good start. Advice is great. The templates are useful. Thank you.

Dr Max you're definitely one of the best academics and educators out there! The PhD crash course definitely helped with my literature review, a part I have struggled to write. I have not implemented the guidelines of the other lessons yet but I have no hesitation in encouraging you to continue helping young PhD scholars, especially in our day and age when AI apps are taking over everything. Thanks a million.

I needed extra clarification and support so I reached out to do the 10-lesson course. Each lesson was manageable and far exceeded my expectations. Sometimes one thinks they have a handle on, for example, the literature but further guidance in that lesson was extremely helpful. The added links to resources were a welcomed bonus. Each lesson proved enlightening and clarified what I needed to do, what I have done that was right/wrong, ways to improve each thesis chapter and the added benefit knowing that others faced confusion in the same areas that I do. Overall, an excellent 10 lesson course that is highly recommended.

I enjoyed that you can take this course at your own pace and go back to the lessons when you need them. It was also useful to have the templates and a series of questions related to each lesson to help get the writing going.
