NICE TO MEET YOU
Meet Your Instructor: Rolanda Anderson, PhD
My journey began during my doctoral program when classmates often asked me for help understanding assignments, organizing their ideas, and making sense of dissertation expectations.
What started as helping classmates became a deeper purpose.
Over time, I became a Dissertation Chair and began guiding doctoral students through proposal development, alignment, methodology, and dissertation defense preparation.
I quickly realized that many doctoral students do not need more vague feedback.
Doctoral Students Need:
- clear direction
- structure
- guided instruction
- help understanding what belongs in each section
- support connecting one sentence to the next
That is why I created this course.
This step-by-step system was designed to help doctoral students stop guessing, start writing, and confidently move through Chapter 3 with clarity and structure.
Scheduling and Access
How Coaching Works
After you purchase or apply for coaching, you will receive instructions for scheduling your session based on available appointment times.
Coaching sessions are held virtually through Zoom.
To make the most of your session, you may be asked to submit a brief description of your dissertation concern before the call. This helps us use the coaching time wisely and focus on your most important needs.
Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy
Because coaching sessions are reserved specifically for you, please provide at least 24 to 48 hours’ notice if you need to reschedule.
Missed sessions or late cancellations may be forfeited.
You may adjust this policy based on what feels fair for your business, but it needs to be clear before students purchase.
