Hi DegreeInfo, I am unsure if the post has been placed in the correct location, but if not accept my apology. I am looking for a reasonably priced online Dissertation (South African THESIS) editing service. I just want to make sure that the grammar, punctuations and citing sources for my Dissertation (THESIS) proposal and the actual Dissertation (Thesis) are correct. I am in the process of preparing a Dissertation (Thesis) proposal that is Nursing- HIV/AIDS related for the University of Zululand. Thanks in advance,
Hello I do not run a service as such, but having submitted one to the University of South Africa and having it accepted with no changes for the the Doctor of Education programme I would be willing to have a look at it for you. I graduated with the DEd (History of Education) degree in May 2006. As well, I was accepted to begin my PhD (Theology) degree at the University of the Free State based on a proposal that was accepted with no changes required. If you would like, I could forward a copy of the recently accepted PhD proposal at the Free State for you to have a look at. I could make some suggestions perhaps based on experience and knowledge of Commonwealth standards (I am Canadian and have taught English here in Canada, in Zambia and in the UK).
Check out http://www.exactica.co.za/ They have great email articles and also hold dissertation workshops in South Africa. I'm sure they can point you in the right direction for a good editing service.
Hi Jim, Your plans sound interesting! Are you applying for a Ph.D in nursing? What kind of an AIDS study do you think you'll conduct? With all the great resources here with experience with SA schools, your proposal should turn out pretty good. Good luck. Tom
Just curious, Brad, is your D.Ed dissertation Christian education oriented? What will be the focus of your Ph.D? Best wishes. Tom
HI Tom My DEd was related to Church history in Education. I continued from my MA research concerning the refugee priests from France during the Revolution who fled to England and those of them who came to live in Nova Scotia. I wanted to study their work in teaching and setting up schools in the Acadian (French speaking) communities in Cape Breton Island from the late 1700s to mid-1800s. I now want to look at the work they did in preparing the laity in the commuties in a broader ecclesial sense. There was often only one priest for an area that is now a diocese. The lay people became involved in many aspects of work normally assigned to priests under Tredentine rules. But due to the lack of priests available at the time the Church permitted lay people to become involved. I want to show that what we are doing since Vatican II has actually already been done so we do not need to re-invent the wheel. My research is available from my web site at http://www.altimedia.ca Thanks for asking Brad
Hi Brad, Thanks for sharing this. It looks very interesting. I'll be sure to visit your site. I have a couple of questions: 1. How do you manage to work on two or three degrees at the same time? 2. Did you need permission from the schools? Just curious. What you're doing is quite impressive and inspiring. Roscoe
The BTH and MDiv are worked on together at the seminary. I have 4 courses remaining and then a short mémoire of 50 pages. I also have an oral defence of 45 minutes. It is a required programme for the seminary so there is no problem taking these two together. The second PhD is just me in my spare time. I tried, with permission, to seek and was accepted to the Post-Doc programme at McGill University in Montréal, but one letter stood in my way and since I was in the midst of changing diocese was unable to get the letter needed and so changed the proposal into a second doctorate proposal and was accepted by 4 universities in RSA (Free State, Unisa, KwaZulu-Natal, Pretoria). I figure that since I write academic articles through the year (three accepted so far this year, two more completed and awaiting mailing to journals), why not turn the effort to something more substantial? And since I can pick away at the research in my spare time I have no pressure on me. Keeps me out of trouble and my mind working. The research is really what I have been working on for the last 10 years now so is embedded into my thinking anyway. I hope this helps. Brad
Hey Brad, I agree with Roscoe. Your pursuits and accomplishments are indeed inspiring. I'm graduating next week, but I don't want to stop taking on substantial challenges. I hope to continue to be academically productive, as well. Thanks for sharing your journey with us! Tom
Its a pleasure. Most people have eyes that glaze over when I speak of my research so I usually keep it to myself. Its a pleasure to share this with everyone. I keep my work updated on my web site if anyone is interested. Brad
Great web site Brad, I really enjoyed visiting your Web site. It's great to see someone fired up about research. You are serious and passionate, and it shows. A member here once said he would like to see more DL students excited about research and publishing. I share that view. Again, thanks for sharing your experiences and for the inspiration. Roscoe
