All my doctoral students ask me at some point during their writing to give them good dissertation examples. It’s a fair question to help them improve the quality of their dissertation. This is a list of student who have completed their doctoral program under my direction. Use them as you will — just remember that your dissertation is unique – just as the following dissertations are unique. Is one dissertation better for you to look at? The best analogy is: Which is better, vanilla or chocolate ice cream? It depends on your preference for ice cream!
