Simple Tips To Help You Finish Dissertation in Half The Time

The General Idea Behind Dissertation:

Dissertation Writing is as easy as you haven't imagined. These simple writing tips would help you understand and have strong grip on professional writing.

1. A thesis is a hypothesis or conjecture as compared to dissertation.
2. A PhD dissertation is a lengthy, formal document that argues in defense of a particular thesis. (So many people use the term ``thesis'' to refer to the document that a current dictionary now includes it as the third meaning of ``thesis'').
3. Two important adjectives used to describe a dissertation are ``original'' and ``substantial.'' The research performed to support a thesis must be both, and the dissertation must show it to be so. In particular, a dissertation highlights original contributions.
4. The scientific method means starting with a hypothesis and then collecting evidence to support or deny it. Before one can write a dissertation defending a particular thesis, one must collect evidence that supports it. Thus, the most difficult aspect of writing a dissertation consists of organizing the evidence and associated discussions into a coherent form.
5. The essence of a dissertation is critical thinking, not experimental data. Analysis and concepts form the heart of the work.
6. A dissertation concentrates on principles: it states the lessons learned, and not merely the facts behind them.
7. In general, every statement in a dissertation must be supported either by a reference to published scientific literature or by original work. Moreover, a dissertation does not repeat the details of critical thinking and analysis found in published sources; it uses the results as fact and refers the reader to the source for further details.
8. Each sentence in a dissertation must be complete and correct in a grammatical sense. Moreover, a dissertation must satisfy the stringent rules of formal grammar (e.g., no contractions, no colloquialisms, no slurs, no undefined technical jargon, no hidden jokes, and no slang, even when such terms or phrases are in common use in the spoken language). Indeed, the writing in a dissertation must be crystal clear. Shades of meaning matter; the terminology and prose must make fine distinctions. The words must convey exactly the meaning intended, nothing more and nothing less.
9. Each statement in a dissertation must be correct and defensible in a logical and scientific sense. Moreover, the discussions in a dissertation must satisfy the most stringent rules of logic applied to mathematics and science.

What One Should Learn From The Exercise:

1. All scientists need to communicate discoveries; the PhD dissertation provides training for communication with other scientists.
2. Writing a dissertation requires a student to think deeply, to organize technical discussion, to muster arguments that will convince other scientists, and to follow rules for rigorous, formal presentation of the arguments and discussion.

A Rule Of Thumb:

Good writing is essential in a dissertation. However, good writing cannot compensate for a paucity of ideas or concepts. Quite the contrary, a clear presentation always exposes weaknesses.

Definitions And Terminology:

1. Each technical term used in a dissertation must be defined either by a reference to a previously published definition (for standard terms with their usual meaning) or by a precise, unambiguous definition that appears before the term is used (for a new term or a standard term used in an unusual way).
2. Each term should be used in one and only one way throughout the dissertation.
3. The easiest way to avoid a long series of definitions is to include a statement: ``the terminology used throughout this document follows that given in [CITATION].'' Then, only define exceptions.
4. The introductory chapter can give the intuition (i.e., informal definitions) of terms provided they are defined more precisely later.

Terms And Phrases To Avoid:

• adverbs
  Mostly, they are very often overly used. Use strong words instead. For example, one could say, ``Writers abuse adverbs.''
• jokes or puns
  They have no place in a formal document.
• ``bad'', ``good'', ``nice'', ``terrible'', ``stupid''
  A scientific dissertation does not make moral judgements. Use ``incorrect/correct'' to refer to factual correctness or errors. Use precise words or phrases to assess quality (e.g., ``method A requires less computation than method B''). In general, one should avoid all qualitative judgements.
• ``true'', ``pure'',
  In the sense of ``good'' (it is judgemental).
• ``perfect''
  Nothing is.
• ``an ideal solution''
  You're judging again.
• ``today'', ``modern times''
  Today is tomorrow's yesterday.
• ``soon''
  How soon? Later tonight? Next decade?
• ``we were surprised to learn...''
  Even if you were, so what?
• ``seems'', ``seemingly'',
  It doesn't matter how something appears;
• ``would seem to show''
  all that matters are the facts.
• ``in terms of''
  usually vague
• ``based on'', ``X-based'', ``as the basis of''
  careful; can be vague
• ``different''
  Does not mean ``various''; different than what?
• ``in light of''
  colloquial
• ``lots of''
  vague & colloquial
• ``kind of''
  vague & colloquial
• ``type of''
  vague & colloquial
• ``something like''
  vague & colloquial
• ``just about''
  vague & colloquial
• ``number of''
  vague; do you mean ``some'', ``many'', or ``most''? A quantative statement is preferable.
• ``due to''
  colloquial
• ``probably''
  only if you know the statistical probability (if you do, state it quantatively
• ``obviously, clearly''
  be careful: obvious/clear to everyone?
• ``simple''
  Can have a negative connotation, as in ``simpleton''
• ``along with''
  Just use ``with''
• ``actually, really''
  define terms precisely to eliminate the need to clarify
• ``the fact that''
  makes it a meta-sentence; rephrase
• ``this'', ``that''
  As in ``This causes concern.'' Reason: ``this'' can refer to the subject of the previous sentence, the entire previous sentence, the entire previous paragraph, the entire previous section, etc. More important, it can be interpreted in the concrete sense or in the meta-sense. For example, in:
  ``X does Y. This means ...''
  the reader can assume ``this'' refers to Y or to the fact that X does it. Even when restricted (e.g., ``this computation...''), the phrase is weak and often ambiguous.
• ``You will read about...''
  The second person has no place in a formal dissertation.
• ``I will describe...''
  The first person has no place in a formal dissertation. If self-reference is essential, phrase it as ``Section 10 describes...''
• ``we'' as in ``we see that''
  A trap to avoid. Reason: almost any sentence can be written to begin with ``we'' because ``we'' can refer to: the reader and author, the author and advisor, the author and research team, experimental computer scientists, the entire computer science community, the science community, or some other unspecified group.
• ``Hopefully, the program...''
  Computer programs don't hope, not unless they implement AI systems. By the way, if you are writing an AI thesis, talk to someone else: AI people have their own system of rules.
• ``...a famous researcher...''
  It doesn't matter who said it or who did it. In fact, such statements prejudice the reader.
• Be Careful When Using ``few, most, all, any, every''.
  A dissertation is precise. If a sentence says ``Most computer systems contain X'', you must be able to defend it. Are you sure you really know the facts? How many computers were built and sold yesterday?
• ``must'', ``always''
  Absolutely?
• ``should''
  Who says so?
• ``proof'', ``prove''
  Would a mathematician agree that it's a proof?
• ``show''
  Used in the sense of ``prove''. To ``show'' something, you need to provide a formal proof.
• ``can/may''
  Your mother probably told you the difference.

Voice:

Use active constructions. For example, say ``the operating system starts the device'' instead of ``the device is started by the operating system.''

Tense:

Write in the present tense. For example, say ``The system writes a page to the disk and then uses the frame...'' instead of ``The system will use the frame after it wrote the page to disk...''

Define Negation Early:

Example: say ``no data block waits on the output queue'' instead of ``a data block awaiting output is not on the queue.''

Grammar And Logic:

Be careful that the subject of each sentence really does what the verb says it does. Saying ``Programs must make procedure calls using the X instruction'' is not the same as saying ``Programs must use the X instruction when they call a procedure.'' In fact, the first is patently false! Another example: ``RPC requires programs to transmit large packets'' is not the same as ``RPC requires a mechanism that allows programs to transmit large packets.''

All computer scientists should know the rules of logic. Unfortunately the rules are more difficult to follow when the language of discourse is English instead of mathematical symbols. For example, the sentence ``There is a compiler that translates the N languages by...'' means a single compiler exists that handles all the languages, while the sentence ``For each of the N languages, there is a compiler that translates...'' means that there may be 1 compiler, 2 compilers, or N compilers. When written using mathematical symbols, the difference are obvious because ``for all'' and ``there exists'' are reversed.

Focus On Results And Not The People/Circumstances In Which They Were Obtained:

``After working eight hours in the lab that night, we realized...'' has no place in the dissertation. It doesn't matter when you realized it or how long you worked to obtain the answer. Another example: ``Jim and I arrived at the numbers shown in Table 3 by measuring...'' Put an acknowledgement to Jim in the dissertation, but do not include names (even your own) in the main body. You may be tempted to document a long series of experiments that produced nothing or a coincidence that resulted in success. Avoid it completely. In particular, do not document seemingly mystical influences (e.g., ``if that cat had not crawled through the hole in the floor, we might not have discovered the power supply error indicator on the network bridge''). Never attribute such events to mystical causes or imply that strange forces may have affected your results. Summary: stick to the plain facts. Describe the results without dwelling on your reactions or events that helped you achieve them.

Avoid Self-Assessment (both praise and criticism):

Both of the following examples are incorrect: ``The method outlined in Section 2 represents a major breakthrough in the design of distributed systems because...'' ``Although the technique in the next section is not earthshaking,...''

References To Extant Work:

One always cites papers, not authors. Thus, one uses a singular verb to refer to a paper even though it has multiple authors. For example ``Johnson and Smith [J&S90] reports that...''

Avoid the phrase ``the authors claim that X''. The use of ``claim'' casts doubt on ``X'' because it references the authors' thoughts instead of the facts. If you agree ``X'' is correct, simply state ``X'' followed by a reference. If one absolutely must reference a paper instead of a result, say ``the paper states that...'' or ``Johnson and Smith [J&S 90] presents evidence that...''.

Concept Vs. Instance:

A reader can become confused when a concept and an instance of it are blurred. Common examples include: an algorithm and a particular program that implements it, a programming language and a compiler, a general abstraction and its particular implementation in a computer system, a data structure and a particular instance of it in memory.

Terminology For Concepts And Abstractions

When defining the terminology for a concept, be careful to decide precisely how the idea translates to an implementation. Consider the following discussion:

VM systems include a concept known as an address space. The system dynamically creates an address space when a program needs one, and destroys an address space when the program that created the space has finished using it. A VM system uses a small, finite number to identify each address space. Conceptually, one understands that each new address space should have a new identifier. However, if a VM system executes so long that it exhausts all possible address space identifiers, it must reuse a number.

The important point is that the discussion only makes sense because it defines ``address space'' independently from ``address space identifier''. If one expects to discuss the differences between a concept and its implementation, the definitions must allow such a distinction.

Knowledge Vs. Data

The facts that result from an experiment are called ``data''. The term ``knowledge'' implies that the facts have been analyzed, condensed, or combined with facts from other experiments to produce useful information.

Cause and Effect:

A dissertation must carefully separate cause-effect relationships from simple statistical correlations. For example, even if all computer programs written in Professor X's lab require more memory than the computer programs written in Professor Y's lab, it may not have anything to do with the professors or the lab or the programmers (e.g., maybe the people working in professor X's lab are working on applications that require more memory than the applications in professor Y's lab).

Drawing Only Warranted Conclusions:

One must be careful to only draw conclusions that the evidence supports. For example, if programs run much slower on computer A than on computer B, one cannot conclude that the processor in A is slower than the processor in B unless one has ruled out all differences in the computers' operating systems, input or output devices, memory size, memory cache, or internal bus bandwidth. In fact, one must still refrain from judgement unless one has the results from a controlled experiment (e.g., running a set of several programs many times, each when the computer is otherwise idle). Even if the cause of some phenomenon seems obvious, one cannot draw a conclusion without solid, supporting evidence.

Commerce and Science:

In a scientific dissertation, one never draws conclusions about the economic viability or commercial success of an idea/method, nor does one speculate about the history of development or origins of an idea. A scientist must remain objective about the merits of an idea independent of its commercial popularity. In particular, a scientist never assumes that commercial success is a valid measure of merit (many popular products are neither well-designed nor well-engineered). Thus, statements such as ``over four hundred vendors make products using technique Y'' are irrelevant in a dissertation.

Politics And Science:

A scientist avoids all political influence when assessing ideas. Obviously, it should not matter whether government bodies, political parties, religious groups, or other organizations endorse an idea. More important and often overlooked, it does not matter whether an idea originated with a scientist who has already won a Nobel prize or a first-year graduate student. One must assess the idea independent of the source.

Canonical Organization:

In general, every dissertation must define the problem that motivated the research, tell why that problem is important, tell what others have done, describe the new contribution, document the experiments that validate the contribution, and draw conclusions. There is no canonical organization for a dissertation; each is unique. However, novices writing a dissertation in the experimental areas of CS may find the following example a good starting point:

• Chapter 1: Introduction

  An overview of the problem; why it is important; a summary of extant work and a statement of your hypothesis or specific question to be explored. Make it readable by anyone.

• Chapter 2: Definitions

  New terms only. Make the definitions precise, concise, and unambiguous.

• Chapter 3: Conceptual Model

  Describe the central concept underlying your work. Make it a ``theme'' that ties together all your arguments. It should provide an answer to the question posed in the introduction at a conceptual level. If necessary, add another chapter to give additional reasoning about the problem or its solution.

• Chapter 4: Experimental Measurements

  Describe the results of experiments that provide evidence in support of your thesis. Usually experiments either emphasize proof-of-concept (demonstrating the viability of a method/technique) or efficiency (demonstrating that a method/technique provides better performance than those that exist).

• Chapter 5: Corollaries And Consequences

  Describe variations, extensions, or other applications of the central idea.

• Chapter 6: Conclusions

  Summarize what was learned and how it can be applied. Mention the possibilities for future research.

• Abstract:

  A short (few paragraphs) summary of the the dissertation. Describe the problem and the research approach. Emphasize the original contributions.

Suggested Order For Writing:

The easiest way to build a dissertation is inside-out. Begin by writing the chapters that describe your research (3, 4, and 5 in the above outline). Collect terms as they arise and keep a definition for each. Define each technical term, even if you use it in a conventional manner.

Organize the definitions into a separate chapter. Make the definitions precise and formal. Review later chapters to verify that each use of a technical term adheres to its definition. After reading the middle chapters to verify terminology, write the conclusions. Write the introduction next. Finally, complete an abstract.

Entrepreneurship Is Easier Than You Thought

What Makes A Person Successful Entrepreneur?

There is no guidebook on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship isn’t about achieving a successful lifestyle but it rather is a lifestyle. The particular lifestyle is similar to your childhood when things seemed tough to achieve but with time gradually things became achievable. Often at times people see successful entrepreneur and question themselves as to what makes them so different from us. Entrepreneurs are people who have struggled more than an average person and have learnt from that experience. The simple answer is you must struggle to understand the depths of this lifestyle.

Does Being A Successful Entrepreneur Require Business Studies?

Hell No! ask yourself one simple question: Is planting an idea inside someone’s mind difficult? For those of you who answered “No” just wait a moment and for those who answered “Yes” pay close attention to what I have to say next. Let me tell you a short story:

“Once there was a guy on his way to office early morning. He caught a train and sat down near to the door with his cup of coffee. He read the newspaper in his hand and yawned all the way. When he yawned he covered his mouth with his hand. It was only the third time that he yawned and in covering his mouth he accidentally spilled the coffee on to the person next to him. He immediately stood up in apology while the person next to him remained calm and cleared his seat. He explained to the person that since he slept late at night he was yawning and in order to cover his act he spilled the coffee accidentally.”

Well enough of it! 75% of the reader have yawned till now or about to yawn in next 1 minutes. And as I say next 1 minute, there you go some of you yawned just now. It is only because I used the word “Yawn” 4 times in a row and the word activated the act of yawning in your subconscious mind. This is how easy it is to plant an idea inside someone’s head. Human mind is by default a follower, whatever you feed it with will eventually grow. Have you ever observed someone yawn in public and the people who see the person yawning yawn sooner or later? To plant an idea inside someone’s mind is as easy as showing them the act and feeding the words into their mind.

P.S. Good luck playing the yawning trick on people around you. I know it's fun!

Successful Entrepreneur Always Has One Quality

THEY NEVER QUIT. Often people quit at the very first struggle they encounter in their entrepreneurial venture. The key is to be consistent and adapt to the change. I am about to tell you one of the most important tip that will make you a successful entrepreneur i.e. when you mark on this journey be sure to close all the doors behind. If you are working on a job be sure to quit it before you start this venture. No matter how crazy it sounds but that is the reality. Let me quote you all a very famous quote from ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

Blind Prisoner: You do not fear death. You think this makes you strong. It makes you weak.

Bruce Wayne: Why?

Blind Prisoner: How can you move faster than possible, fight longer than possible without the most powerful impulse of the spirit: the fear of death.

Bruce Wayne: I do fear death. I fear dying in here, while my city burns, and there’s no one there to save it.

Blind Prisoner: Then make the climb.

Bruce Wayne: How?

Blind Prisoner: As the child did. Without the rope. Then fear will find you again.

If you recall the heroic scene where Bruce Wayne makes the jump and finally gets out of the prison then you would realize being an entrepreneur is just like being BATMAN. As long as you have a backup plan to fall to that only means you aren’t confident on yourself being a successful entrepreneur. You have let go of your comfort zone and make the leap of faith. Perfect time to recall founder of Linkedin Reid Hoffman’s quote:

“What is an entrepreneur? Someone who jumps off a cliff and builds a plane on the way down.”

Failure Is A Successful Entrepreneur’s Learning Book

Never be afraid to fail. The concept of slow and steady wins the race is down right vague. The concept is based on the story which is one of the most biased story of all time where a Rabbit gets into a race with a tortoise (Like Seriously?). The race fixed and biased to the point that the writer drugged the rabbit to sleep half the way while the tortoise won the race (Real Smooth!). Well my friends if you are still living with that concept of slow and steady then I am afraid you’ll die thinking about what bills to pay next. To be successful one needs to fail countless times. Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times to finally figuring out how to make an electric light bulb. So if the road to success requires you to fail then what are you waiting for? Fail as fast as you can, try something new every time if that doesn’t work then try again until you succeed.

A successful entrepreneur has been through all the above mentioned phases in his or her life. If this sounds vague then how about you pick a successful entrepreneur of your choice and google his/her story to find out that the same pattern exist. Lets conclude this with a famous quote of the movie ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’

“The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.” 

Online Fake Degrees: Beware of The Scam

Stay away from agencies offering college degrees based on life experiences. You would lose your career and life!

The Case Of UAE

In 2014 XPRESS blew the lid off a well-knit fake degree racket run by dubious education providers in the UAE. They exposed online degree mills based outside the country but targeting residents in UAE.

Ahmad has an MBA from Ashford University (UK), Rogers, a degree in computer networking from Rochville University, and Sam, a doctorate from Midtown University. None of these universities exist. Yet Ahmad, Rogers and Sam, like many other UAE residents, have secured high-paying jobs on the strength of worthless certificates issued by these bogus institutes.

Don’t believe this? Go to Google and type the name of any of these colleges + Dubai + manager/CEO/executive.

You will find numerous LinkedIn profiles boasting degrees issued by these fake colleges.

XPRESS randomly picked one such LinkedIn profile and rang up H.N., a Dubai-based manager who works for an electronics firm and lists an MBA degree from Rochville in his credentials.

“My degree is genuine and attested by all relevant agencies. What’s your problem?” demanded H.N.

The problem is that H.N’s fellow alumni is a dog. The year H.N. got his degree, Rochville also awarded an MBA to a canine. This happened when a Singapore-based journalist enrolled his pup, Chester, for the university’s online MBA programme.

The degree came in a parcel couriered from a Dubai address. Chester has since become a mascot of the website www.geteducated.com which helps people understand the importance of distance learning accreditation and warns them about degree mills and life experience colleges.

Yet degree mills continue to churn out scores of certificates to UAE residents every month.

“Most people are unaware they are being scammed, but there are instances of them knowingly taking these shortcuts in the belief that no one will find them out,” said an HR manager. “They’re flirting with danger; instead of getting them hired, these degrees could get people into serious legal problems,” he warned.

To get to the bottom of the scam, this XPRESS journalist registered with several online degree mills that offer “affordable, accredited and instant” US college degrees for little as Dh1,800. 

Common pattern

All of them follow the same predatory trajectory.

Within seconds of registering, a live chat window pops up on the computer screen. Soon you are connected to a ‘counselor’ or ‘professor’. He seeks your contact number, calls you instantaneously and pesters you to pay the $199 enrolment fee. For good measure, he also mails you the degree sample along with a payment link.

XPRESS has screenshots of live chats and audio recordings of several such interactions.

A chat with a man who introduced himself as Professor James Marshall of Edgebrook University in California went like this:

“Can I get an MBA degree quickly,” this reporter enquired.

“You have experience?” he asked in heavily accented English.

“Yes, around six years.”

“Wonderful, we are offering degrees on the basis of a candidate’s experience. We will convert your work experience into credit hours and, on behalf of that experience, our university will award you the master’s degree. You don’t need classes. You’ll get the degree in four weeks, sir. It will cost you $500. Attestation will cost extra.”

At www.experiencebasedgraduate.com, counselor Djvon Connor claimed the degrees are recognized internationally and at www.gcconlinedegrees.com, the caller named some UAE firms where the alumni of their partner universities are supposedly employed.

The sales pitch was always high pressured, often aggressive.

In two days, Midtown University called this journalist 27 times and Edgebrook, 24.

“Why waste this opportunity? Give me your credit card details, I will make the payment on your behalf,” suggested professor Peter Hill from Midtown University.

By a conservative estimate there are over 300 degree/diploma mills worldwide.

It’s not clear if they are independent or part of a syndicate, although reports indicate that at least two universities – Rochville and Midtown – are run by a South Asian man who was ordered by a US court to pay $22.7 million (Dh83 million) in damages for running another degree mill called Belford University in 2012.

“A real college will never advertise through popup and tele-marketing,” said a Dubai based academic counselor. “The fact that these degrees are easily attested gives them some kind of legitimacy in the eyes of employers here, but at the end of the day they are bogus qualifications,” she added.

In 2009, the US Department of Justice blacklisted 10,000 people for purchasing fake qualifications from a degree mill in Washington. Among them, over 180 were from the Middle East including 69 from the UAE.

The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in the UAE has repeatedly warned residents to check with it before enrolling for an internet course.

In February 2014 it released a worldwide list of 105 accredited foreign online universities recommended for UAE students. Of them 46 are in the UK, 34 in the US, 20 in Australia and five in New Zealand.

None of the so-called reputed colleges peddled by diploma mills figure in it. Get the complete list here.

What is a degree mill

A degree mill is an unaccredited higher education institution that offers illegitimate academic degrees for a fee. These degrees may claim to give credit for relevant life experience, but should not be confused with legitimate prior learning assessment programs. These education scams prey on consumer ignorance about terms like “accreditation” and “licensing. Using such degrees in resumes can result in legal issues.

British Council rubbishes tie up claim

The British Council has rubbished the claims of an Ajman based institute that is has a tie-up with them. In a statement Faraz Waqar, Marketing and Communications, British Council said the claims were false.

Waqar was responding to last week’s XPRESS expose where the principal of the Ajman based institute had boasted that their MBA programs were in collaboration with the British Council.

Education System Hierarchy Is A Conspiracy

What Is Education System Hierarchy?

To be short and concise an education system hierarchy is the level of education that one goes through from Primary School till Higher Education. It is a system designed for people to become aware of and possess knowledge about different subjects that would help them being a better human being. Hardly would have anyone wondered that an education system as such which is adopted by the whole world could be flawed to a greater extent. The picture below summarizes how an education system exist in people's mind.

Whats Wrong With Education System Hierarchy?

The only thing wrong about education system hierarchy is EVERYTHING. Many of you might not agree but let's analyze the knowledge flow at each level. When a person is in primary school they usually learn about 5-8 subjects. As they move on to secondary school it's more like 3-4 subjects. When a person reaches their bachelors they now have to decide to pick which subject are they going to study now. Let's take business administration as an example. As the education level rises to Masters the person now masters in business administration. And there comes PHD and the subject remains the same.

So if we observe the scenario as the person was in lower hierarchy of the education system they had a much diversified portfolio of subjects and for that matter even knowledge and as the hierarchy rises a person must leave other subjects and go with the ones they feel are necessary. The whole education system hierarchy is designed to make you a Specialist in a subject. Thinking whats wrong with that? I repeat EVERYTHING. Let's see what the corporate system hierarchy has to say in the below picture.

Now I want you to analyze the level of knowledge required at each level. Being an intern you probably do documentation and aren't allowed to take strategic decisions because you don't know how things are done. Who knows how things are done better? the directors and the CEOs. Why? Because they have more knowledge than an intern and posses a variety of knowledge about every department in their company.

Education System Hierarchy V.S. Corporate System Hierarchy

So we can say that the pyramid in the picture represents the level of knowledge and now if I ask you to compare the corporate system hierarchy where you have to land eventually with education system hierarchy. The education system hierarchy is designed to make you a 'Specialist' whereas in corporate system hierarchy the person is expected to become a 'Generalist'. Being a student we happily get rid of subjects but little do we know at that time that later in life we have to face them once again at a tougher scale. So the point that stands is why does one drop out the subjects that they had to study in the lower levels of education system hierarchy? if they had been in touch with those subjects may be not academically but rather just kept up with what's going on there then a person would have quite a dynamic mind.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the education system hierarchy is greatly flawed. It should be more diversified to help a person have grip on multiple subjects and to be able to link those subjects together to explore ideas. It can also be derived from this conclusion that since an entrepreneur is a person who must have diversified portfolio of knowledge as they start up their own company, these entrepreneurs are rather generalist than specialists. We can finally conclude this into a bitter fact that the education system hierarchy is greatly flawed to the point that it is designed to make you a specialist and then a corporate slave. Once you become a corporate slave they troll you by letting you know that you should have been a generalist to grow faster.

How Can One Overcome The Flaws Of Education System Hierarchy?

It's quite simple and rather a matter of habit. One must make it a habit of learning something new out of their academic knowledge. For some it might sound greatly hectic but it isn't. Everyone these days possess a smartphone; little do you know the endless possibilities that you can achieve with it. Make it a habit of whenever you go to bed; right before you sleep just google something new and read some research about what's going on on the other side of your academic subjects. The trick is not just to read but to wake up the next morning and go up to anyone you know or a total stranger and strike a conversation about what you have researched the night before. Share your opinions with the person and listen what they have to say. And with this being done you have successfully locked a new set of information and knowledge into your brain that can be useful later in life.

Now if we do a quick math to analyze that if a person follows this pattern everyday or in worst case scenario 2/3 of the time every year then that means they have acquired knowledge on 243 issues or topics. Now 5 years from now the person would have knowledge over 1215 issues or topics. Not to forget as the knowledge grows the synergy would come in where you would be able to link the different issues up and be a better analyst in many aspects. So if you see we can finally conclude it into that within a matter of 5 -10 years with this particular habit you would be walking and talkin mini wikipedia. So never fall for the troll of education system hierarchy but rather to keep gaining knowledge on variety of issues and subjects.

Writing Assignments: Secret Fun Tips To Score An A Grade

Writing Assignments You Don't Like is Easy

Every student knows that feeling that they face when writing assignments that doesn't interest them. More than 69% of the students fail while writing assignments as such. But writing assignments that doesn't interest you can be a lot more easier than you imagined. Let's analyze the situation first. When writing assignments that doesn't interest a student they usually end up frustrated and losing their sanity. With losing sanity at hand and time pressure up their heads they end up making the worst assignment of all times that can be mentioned in World Guinness Record. So in order to save the sanity and that sinking ship of A Grade its of vital importance that you follow the below mentioned steps.

1. Making A To Do List Prior To Writing Assignments

You need to make a list of thoughts that come to your mind that could be put in while writing assignments. Make the list of all the relevant aspects that could be covered in the assignment. However, the best way to do so in not on the study table but while walking around doing other work. The best part about it is that you can ask your friends who might be good at writing assignments to have their thoughts on the matter. You can easily incorporate their ideas combined with your ideas or for that matter conclusive of both ideas in the list. This will come in extremely handy and you might even find yourself exceeding the wordcount once you start writing.

Similar to the list of ideas you can also have a separate list which could be "Things I Would Rather Be Doing". And its a great way to save your sanity by making a list of things that interest you. A frustrated mind is limited to its capabilities but however a fresh mind is limitless. So keeping your sanity intact is also a major task that students usually ignore. This can include a walk in the park, a group get together or gaming for that matter.

2. Socializing Helps in Writing Assignments

This may sound vague to many people but it's a fact. Continuing the previous point it is of vital importance that you socialize with colleagues and classmates. These are people who are most likely writing assignments such as yours and their input can change your C grader assignment into an A grader assignment. After all what are friends for?

Socializing can be very challenging for many people so the best way for a person to socialize is to become a listener at first. It's a very successful technique and often works the best with people who are introverts.

Students Who Buy Essay Online Are Being Played

How Students Who Buy Essay Online Are Being Played With?

The Office of Qualification and Examinations Regulations (Ofqual) conducted a survey in 2014 to find out the quality of top academic writing websites. These websites are quite frequently used by students to buy essay online. The Survey found out that students paid as much as £220 for high quality essays which promised an A-Grade. However, in several cases the essays were composed of basic writing with very limited knowledge placed carefully in a pattern to make it presentable. The results of these essays never made it more than B-Grade. The matter to be focused on is that these companies who claimed to provide services for the standard of A-Grade have been charging the students a handsome amount of fees without living up to the expectations.

OFQUAL's Comments on Student Who Buy Essay Online:

OFQUAL conducted an investigation to find out the top 3 websites used in UK from where students buy essay online. The top 3 websites such as UK Essay Writing Service, Custom Essay and UK Essay were given some random coursework essays to be written for A-Grade. The below written comments are of examiners, lecturers and investigators:

"read like the work of an unengaged, untutored and floundering student"

"Americanised versions, confused punctuation within sentences and errors of grammar and expression"

"We would suggest that given the exceptionally low quality of the work commissioned, there is probably minimal damage inflicted. If anything, the fact that it is not possible to simply purchase a grade A GCE A-level essay is an exceptionally encouraging outcome."

"These essays are poor quality. Anyone who buys them isn’t getting value for money. And more importantly, while there can be valid reasons for students buying these essays, such as essay practice or research, any attempt to pass this work off as the student’s own is cheating"

"The assessment of the various coursework essays by external examiners was almost universally negative. Although in a number of cases, essays were reasonably well structured and used relatively sophisticated language, the almost universal ignorance of the scope of the work to be undertaken and associated criteria for assessment, combined with the utter lack of in-depth analysis, suggested that the essays were written by relatively competent writers ... who simply addressed whatever essay commissions present themselves."

The result of the 3 websites investigated by a test provided finally concluded as such:

UK Essay Writing Service secured an E Grade

UK Essay secured a D Grade

Custom Essay secured an E Grade

How To Safely Buy Essay Online?

As seen in the investigation above that most of the websites that claimed to be providing quality essays failed to provide quality. That is because these websites have now matured and with maturity they now charge you more for their brand image despite the fact that they have declined in their performance. The best way to buy essay online is to understand that the website that guarantees an A grade is lying on your face. How your examiner will grade your essay is entirely based on how he/she judges your essay's competency. Therefore a maximum effort of providing an A grade essay can be said but not a surity that guarantees it. So if you plan to buy essay online make sure that you don't go towards the websites that guarantees it. The one that guarantees it sould ring a bell to you. Apart from all that, you are an intelligent being and you dont need to buy essay online but if the pressure and workload is high then make your choice wisely. We at Author4Hire always make sure that the student is in light of these facts.

Best Dissertation Help: Finding The Right Help

Best Dissertation Help: How to find one?

Often at time many students wonder about how to find the best dissertation help but end up being confused. They usually are more confused when it comes to seeing the google result and deciding which website to go with. The most easiest way to find the best dissertation help is to first analyze the website. Newbies who tend to portray themselves as best dissertation help providers often forget to cover up common website gaps. You would find the content on their website limited. That is only because filling the content up in a website goes with time and maturity. Always look for the website that not only claims to be best dissertation help provider but also can be seen.

Best Dissertation Help: How to judge the quality?

Nearly 67% of the website who claim to be best dissertation help providers are actually brokers. They often claim to be based in US/UK/Australia but that is not true. In fact these brokers are situated mostly in Asia and have only one sole purpose: “To get the order”. Once the order is in hand they tend to forward that order to the writer who is usually a person who is good at research but not a professional. You would be lucky if the writer has good english as these writers know how to research and write but aren't technically enhanced. The best way to spot best dissertation help provider is to ask a few questions before placing an order. It is highly advisable to obtain a writing plan from these service provider. A professional would provide you a breakdown of the progress as to how the writing will be carried out. A broker would always try to avoid that question because he doesn't know much about writing.

Best Dissertation Help: Is it necessary?

For obvious reasons it isn’t necessary. However a best dissertation help provider would often provide a dissertation which usually help the student understand how they can benchmark their efforts. It is always advisable to try writing your dissertation first but if the hurdles arise it would then be a good approach to seek a professional. Professional dissertation writers would always write the paper and once its completed; they would often guide the student as to how its written. The target is to learn how to attempt to write a particular dissertation. A professional writing service provider would always tend to educate the client rather than to just work for money.

Best Dissertation Help: Is it being unfaithful to your work?

There are many different perceptions about dissertation help. However, the best dissertation help provider would always ensure that he teaches the student on how to attempt. Furthermore, their work is more of a guideline for the student to understand how the work is done. It wouldn't be unfaithful if the student actually learns from seeking the dissertation help. However, for those who just tend to seek a final paper for submission with no regards to learning then for them yes it’s being unfaithful. This is because the whole purpose of the dissertation is to teach a student about a particular topic. And if that is not being achieved then the work done can simply be regarded as academic cheating.
