Additional services can be added for whatever ethical measures it takes to get you graduated.
If you are just starting the comprehensive exam and/or proposal, you might want help to brainstorm about topics and research questions, select an appropriate method and design that will facilitate smooth progress, refine your data collection procedures, and select fitting strategies and tools for analysis. If you don’t have sufficient time to write, you can audio record your ideas, email the audio file, and have help to organize your ideas. For interview transcription, using voice-to-text or subcontracting can save you time. After graduation, you might want help to condense your content into a shorter format, such as a journal article, and investigate suitable sources for publication.
Payment Methods
I request an estimated half up front. I can receive Venmo, or Paypal (with credit card option). I also accept money orders or personal checks thru postal mail, usually as a slower second-installment option.
“I was surprised by the broad range in costs online among seemingly similar editing services. Ardell came highly recommended, however, and I was impressed by the transparency on her site. Furthermore, she threw in plenty of encouragement and advice for free! I am thoroughly impressed with Ardell's expertise, professionalism, and timeliness. My defense went off without a hitch! Regarding her prices, she was actually able to complete what I requested in less than the time estimated, since I had done a decent job of formatting already, allowing me to celebrate with a wee trip! I consider Ardell to have been a critical member of my dissertation team.” — Alexis Pope, Ed.D., Director of Admissions, Appalachian State University
“Ardell can guide you from start to finish. A close colleague of mine who knows my second-language issues read my dissertation and said, ‘I know you didn’t write this alone, but I can hear your voice’.” Contact me if you want to know more: professor.castaneda @ gmail.com — Mario E. Castaneda, Ed.D., Professor of Curriculum & Instruction, California State University
