1. Your spouse will think you have abandoned
him/her. Help them understand its only
temporary abandonment, and that you do love them more than the dissertation,
contrary to what it looks like, or the amount of time that is spent with them.
2. No matter how right you think you are, your
committee chair is more right.
3. When defending never say, “I don’t know.”
4.
During your dissertation: 1. God
2. Committee Chair 3. Spouse
5.
Plan you defense for the morning, use the rest
of the day for minor fixes.
6.
Vomiting or fainting is not recommended during
your defense.
7. All suggestions made by your committee are good
suggestions.
8.
If you use a statistician… understand every
number, reason behind the number, where the number came from, and why that
number is important.
9.
Dissertations can be written on napkins. (Dr. Dunn cited a source)
10. If you fail to regard the above suggestions, you
can purchase your degree from England!
I have taken some liberties in writing these thoughts; they
are only a reflection of what I captured in today’s discussion. These are not direct quotes from Dr. Dunn; although,
he did inspire the message.
