[@ctgman]

Your videos are great Dr. Markette. I like your light-hearted approach and use of humor. I am finishing up the coursework for my PhD this fall, and having trouble finding a dissertation topic.

[@DrMarkette]

Find something that 1) you are passionate about because you will be "living" with it for quite a while and 2) find something that will make a difference to others. Good luck!

[@mericagreen7590]

Thank you Dr. Markette, this was very helpful

[@DrMarkette]

Wonderful! @Merica Gr, what is your topic of study?

[@donharris8846]

Thank you. I would argue that this is THE most import aspect of research because of its foundational nature. If things go awry at this stage, bad research is likely to follow.

[@DrMarkette]

Thanks for your comment! Choosing a topic is like choosing a vacation: there are SO many good choices!

[@selfinvestedmillionaire5812]

I appreciate all your videos (Donald)

[@DrMarkette]

Thank you for your kind words, Donald. I'm glad these help you.

[@petermasongo5015]

Great information!

[@DrMarkette]

@Peter Masongo, glad to be of help.

[@UPLVJulie]

Thank you Dr. Markette :) Do you do individual, video consultations?

[@DrMarkette]

Hi @Julie Robinson, thanks so much for the inquiry. No, at this time, I do not do individual consultations. However, please feel free to post suggestions for upcoming topics.

[@UPLVJulie]

@@DrMarkette thank you for your reply :) Will do!

[@Les_Ruiz]

Do you find that in order for the topic to be accepted the literature must say there is a specific need for it to be researched?

[@DrMarkette]

No, that is not required! I suggest watching our video on the problem space to get a better idea about this.
