Welcome to the New Home of the Dissertation Accountability Group
Please Follow the Weekly Actions Below
- The steps below are meant to guide you through our accountability, encouragement, and support process and are updated weekly.
- So, regardless of when you join the group, you know exactly what you must do.
- All steps, except step 1, should be completed every month to stay on task.
- Note: Actions that are crossed out are no longer required for the current week.
- Points are awarded for various actions, including posting monthly and weekly goals, weekly check-ins, and liking and responding to other's posts.
- Anyone whose point total falls below 300 for two consecutive months requires a mandatory 1-on-1 Zoom call to determine how we can get you back on track.
- This call is mandatory for you to stay in the group
- Important: We celebrate all wins here, regardless of how big or how small.
- Whether it's writing your first page of the introduction chapter, reading through literature for 1 hour, or scheduling 3 interviews for your qualitative study.
