Hi Emma, how can one come up with project/research/dissertation topics...I'm a food technologist who landed in the classroom! Currently studying for a masters degree in education 🙃 and almost all assignments seem to involve choosing a suitable topic. I look forward to hearing from you Emma. Encountered your video yesterday and fell in love right away

I had to return to Grad Coach yet again to proudly announce that my Masters dissertation received a distinction grade (highest honours). Again, I cannot thank GradCoach enough for their (FREE!!!) videos which have massively supported my learning and have allowed me to achieve what I did. Everyone at GradCoach - the work you do is truly commendable! Thank you from the bottom of my heart; I genuinely never believed I could achieve what I have and, thanks to your help, I did exactly that! ❤️

Thanks for sharing - and congratulations! Glad we could help.

Just a quick bit of feedback: as a student, when watching educational videos, it is frustrating and distracting to constantly be referred to ads or other products. Either do it at the beginning or end, so as not to interrupt the learning process or infringe on limited research time. Thank you!

Hello, will it be considered a “selection bias” if the research intends to investigate the coping mechanism of only one company and derive thematic analysis and phenomenology (for example) with the data collected? The research is of qualitative nature (undergrad level).
The research title and the aims (or the statement of the problem) specify this company alone. Can we get away with the *bias* by mentioning this as a limitation?
Thank you.

[@GradCoach]

If the research aims, objectives & RQs are only concerned with the single company, that wouldn't be a bias.
