Apologies for not seeing this sooner. This depends on the discipline. If your school does not have a dissertation template, ask your dissertation committee chair if they have a preference. If not, I usually place it in between the lit review and the methods in its own section. However, this also depends on journal preferences if I am submitting the work for publication.

Ty for the kind words. You shouldn’t ever feel stupid for not knowing something. You should feel good having taken the initiative and educated yourself. There’s too much out in the world for everyone to know!

@@VocationInc Very true words. I wasn't being hard on myself just feeling silly for not knowing something so simple and taking so long to search up a video like yours that explained it.

@@AlfredoATA We all have blind spots! YT is a great resource for lifelong learning.

Good question. The answer is I messed up, but when you name your course in the Uversity system it is PERMANENT. I tried changing it when I realized I used the same course number for two different courses. To your second question, I did ask Uversity about this precise issue. They said that if the exact course name you want to submit is already there, use that (it's from a course catalog they downloaded or scraped from the university's website). But, if your course name is new or otherwise not listed, manually create it yourself. Tldr; The double course # was a mistake that seemingly cannot be corrected =/

@@VocationInc gotcha. I suppose there’s no way to upload material for the same course but taught on different semesters? The material has to be different clearly.

@@Eshmoon That's correct. All uploads must be distinct. However, if you have enough content in one course to divide into two courses, you can do that. But you can't upload duplicates.

The framework isn't repeating the lit review. Your framework shouldn't be in your lit review. The framework is the lens through which you are conducting your study. The lit review is what everyone else has published on that narrow topic, and your framework is a different study you are including in the mix, and the framework presents a unique angle that other scholars have not considered. I suppose the same study could be in your lit review and your framework, but there's no real reason to do that. One thing I've done before is use a philosophical theory to guide a study I was conducting. I publish mostly in finance/financial planning, which has very little to do with philosophy. There is no philosophical articles that I will ever include in the literature review because philosophy has nothing to do with finance and vice versa. However, if I'm studying the misconduct of financial advisors, there are other studies published on this subject, which will go in my lit review. Then, if I want to study advisor misconduct from a Utilitarian perspective, then I will write about J.S. Mill, Jeremy Bentham, and Utilitarianism in my framework section, which has nothing to do (really) with my lit review. You can also think of this as a conversation. Suppose we are brainstorming a new avenue we want to explore to solve a problem. We first consider all the other attempts other people have made that have failed. That's the lit review. Then, we take an idea that has worked on an unrelated problem, and that idea is our framework because we are going to see if that idea, which worked on a different problem, will work on our problem. Hope this clarifies.

Nice work!

My pleasure. I wish more schools explained this better. It took me SEVERAL attempts before I finally grasped it.

Sorry, I didn't see this until now. Been studying for the Tax Court exam the past six weeks. What's up?

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Thanks for the kind words! I should be more aggressive with gaining new subscribers and producing more content. Thx for subscribing!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope to upload more videos soon.
