Streaming Thesis and Dissertation Support: Fall Workshops

            We here in the Thesis and Dissertation Office are very busy working on presentations and workshops for the month of October to help keep thesis writers and dissertators informed, on track, and motivated. On October 1^st from 2-4 pm in Adams 103, we will be offering a Dissertation Essentials presentation that benefits all dissertators no matter what field. If you are enrolled in 799 next semester or are looking to enroll next semester, come get guidance on the most daunting aspects of the dissertation process. You can also access the presentation online through our Facebook Live if you join our Facebook group (link below). https://www.facebook.com/groups/269163636879/

            October 2^nd, same time, same place, we’ll be hosting the same presentation specifically for thesis writers enrolled or enrolling in 699 which will also be available via Facebook Live if you’re not able to attend in person. October 3^rd from 4 – 5:30 pm, we’ll be discussing the submission process with ProQuest, the very last step before graduation. This presentation is available online only and participants will receive an Adobe Connect link to access the video after registering. October 8^th from 2 – 4 pm in Adams Hall 103 we’ll explain formatting tables, figures and pagination which will also be available online via Facebook Live. This can be tricky no matter how familiar you are with MS Word so make it easy on yourself by attending.

October 15^th 12 pm – 1 pm Adams Hall 103, we’ll tackle the issue of Writer’s Block and how to overcome it via a Facebook Live presentation. If you experience anxiety staring at a blank MS Word document this is a must. There isn’t a thesis or dissertation writer who doesn’t experience this stumbling block so come get advice from peers and the experienced writers in the office on how to work through it and come out better on the other side. October 17^th we’ll offer another Adobe Connect online only presentation discussing a Project-Management Approach to completing a thesis or dissertation to ensure you’re managing your time and resources well. Lastly, on Oct. 19^th at the NIU Naperville campus room 164, from 9 am – 2pm we’ll be giving a seminar for those of you writing a dissertation in Education.
