nice.

You must have a working engine before you tune it!

thanks i love u

True sir this will be the very longest document we have ever written... Thank you

I just submitted my dissertation, so now the waiting and preparing for the defense will take place. (King's College London). Man, I wish I would've thought about looking at these videos earlier! Good stuff.

I just loved the way you have looped the video by saying "and this is why..." in the end.

Thank you sir. Please we need a video on how to choose a researchable topic.

I'm doing Master's thesis,but it feels like a phd. I love studying and have good grades, but always struggle with academic writing.

thanks for inspiring me

Thank you for this video Dr. Hayton! Recently i have really gotten tired of colleagues who almost condemn me because I don't use AI apps!!! P.S. AI apps are not/cannot be as intelligent as us: E.g. recently i asked one of the free AI apps a question in my expertise. It listed the recent academic literature, among which there was one of my recent articles! But the article was registered to that app with another author's name!!! 😮 I know it's mine but for the other users of that app it belongs to someone else! (Of course there is a link to the original source that readers can see my personal data to use for citations, but on the flip side, there is a chance that some could refer to someone else using my article if the researcher didn't click the original source!!!

Now, it's not stressful. Guys technology is impressive. You have to write phd thesis with ai. Fuck k off the school

Thank you,this is so appreciated

Thank you so much, Dr Hayton. I will need to watch this more than once to understand it and implement it..Very useful as.A Ready reckoner

Thanks

Very useful information thank you

The same approach can apply for social sciences phd ???

This is obviously needed video, incredibly helpful. Thank you

It was really helpful👍

Thank you sir

excellent

Thank you James. I just LOVE the way you explain things, practical, thoughtful, concise. Thank you for making these videos. I am a mature student returning to academia… currently at the stage of developing the PhD proposal. Really look forward to learning more from you.

Thank you so much Sir. It's very useful.

Thank you so much!

I never comment on KZbin unless something has made a meaningful impact on my life as a Phd student. I found this gem accidentally when I was trying to find something "useful". The definition of useful advice for phd students is lost in the numerous sources that most of them are clichés and give advices that resemble funny film quotes, something like 'embrace the sun'. This was by far the best seminar I have ever watched and I think you cannot believe its impact on us. Keep up the good work and thanks for your generosity in uploading this for free here. Really appreciate it.

thank you , you made it feel possible really

Thank you so much for this video. The tip of doing one day at a time will surely help as i am also a person making plans for a month and stressed most of time not able to do anything. Thank you soo much.

as a post gradute going for publications this is really needed, thank you so much . feeling small in science Is real, science is big, and vast, you can not get a good hold and have confident in what you bite.

Amazing thank you! Just started my professional Doctorate In Nursing whilst working full time!

Great Job! Thank you Sir!

This is golden.

I'm only 3 minutes into the video, but already pressed like and felt a strong urge to write a positive review! I'm just in early stage of my Phd, and I returned to it after already failing once. I feel lucky to to do it now in era of AI. It is really helpful to have that not very competent but enthusiastic and always available to you intern! Phd is quite a lonely and isolated journey after all. So, getting back to it after a long long break I'm really trying to start it on the right foundation and your remarks that videos advertising ai-written reviews miss some fundamental points resonates so strongly with me! With or without AI if you try to cut corners and don't understand the fundamental concepts your research will be built on shaky grounds. It's not just about somebody catching you cheating, it's about hindering your progress (if you even can make any to start with!). So, excellent point, that you should be able to judge whatever your AI assistant is helping you with!

Thanks you for talent lecture on PhD

Thank you Dr. Hayton, this is incredibly helpful.

Could you guide me on how to write a problem statement?

I've graduated my PhD last year, I wish I have found this before.. This is a good and practical insights.. Still applicable to academics career though.. Thanks!

Much needed talk. I've been facing this since almost 4 years and finally now some idea about what was it about. Thanks a ton @James_Hayton

Good presentation

What if problem 5 applies to you and you are in the final year of your PhD 😅 can't really walk away at this point and hes buddies with the department chair

Thank you so much for this video. What advice would you give to (social science) bachelor's students who are interested in pursuing a PhD in the future? How can they best set themselves up for success during the years in between?

I just came back from the field to start writing my dissertation. Thank you SO much!!

Thank you for this video

thank you for uploading such beautiful vedios

Very interesting video ever I watched. I got your video at the right time!

This is great! Thanks James. I'm in need of motivation like this as I'm a bit over the whole doctoral journey! 🙂

Mine, in humanities cost me about 6 years of salary at 100k plus per year so I am in the hole for almost 750K. If I had my time again, there is no way I would do a PhD. The mental anguish and financial impost was not, is not worth it. Mine cost me almost everything precious in life. A PhD is rewarding on some personal level, but most people really won't care. I would suggest one really evaluates their life and where they would like to be in 5 - 10 years before starting. And I mean write down anything and everything you would like to achieve. Where does a PhD fit with that list? If it is not at the top, by a significant margin, you may be asking for trouble embarking win the research journey. Most people start and don't finish. If they were easy, everyone would have one.

Prof. would you kindly share the slides?

As a final year PhD student in Social Sciences , I am starting to panic , as I am yet to decide what methodology to select for my thesis - luckily I have some data to work with , but I feel like I am losing it all- I do not even have a complete chapter and I feel so behind. I only have 10 more omnths to go -
