i'm an engineer pursuing DBA. since ive never been in academic, i always struggle with my project paper writing. where can i get help or guidance to write? i tried meeting my supervisor twice but we didnt get anywhere :-( or does this mean i should ask for supervisor change instead? thanks!

If ure on ur doctorate, don't expect feeding from your SV.

Most would not even guide. It's on your own most of the time.

you are suppose to be an independent researcher for your project paper

I'm sure that's one of the learning outcomes for your DBA's project paper.

you need to read and find things out on your own

no shortcuts

What kind of problems are you having exactly?

I only dared to attempt postgrad school after feeling confident having written and published my Master's thesis. Although I was already a trained writer by profession by then, I still had problems adapting to the writing style required by academia. I couldn't stand writing dry shit.

My prof spent a considerable amount of time during Doctoral Seminar in Business addressing the structural expectations in dissertation writing - scope, research problem, research question, research objective, research paradigms and methodology.

Supervisors won't coach you. Their job is only to tell you whether or not you're on the right path, sometimes they bring with them their own baggage.

Do you need help on the formatting or the research itself? Can PM to discuss

Any different between DBA & PhD proposal?

Me too, Im interested in the DBA writing

which uni, can review
