Hi Dr. Guy E. I struggled through my M.Sc. project and I felt completely inadequate to undertake a PhD. However, your purpose, which is to help others succeed through sharing of your knowledge, has given me the boldness to begin the process of my PhD. Thanks and may God bless you and your family richly.

I'm doing my masters dissertation and this is so much help. I come to your videos when I feel overwhelmed.

Dr Guy ,this is amazing. Its quite simple and straight forward. Thanks for sharing these tips

Thank you so much! Completing that statement at the end helped me put everything into perspective. I am now working on my Prospectus and I feel that my chair will have a clear picture of exactly what I want to study now, I wouldn’t have thought of putting in the year of completion either. Thank you again, I’m going to watch the rest of your videos!

Thanks so much for putting this together, Dr. Guy. It is all time helpful. Thanks!

Hi Dr. Guy. Thanks a million for the clear and succinct videos. You cannot imagine how helpful they are.

Hi Dr. Guy, I found your video as an undergrad student doing a independent research project (the course starts in January 2019). One major component of this course is to write a literature review. I have revised my research statement to reflect the advice you've provided here but note the buzz word (impact)... "The purpose of this literature review is to provide an overview of the impacts of oil and gas production in Alberta on the biology of aquatic organisms in freshwater ecosystems in 2019."

Thank God I stumbled upon your videos, each one I've watched so far, is sooo useful and insightful. I'm literally taking down notes as if i'm attending a lecture. Thank you so much Dr. Guy! Keep up the good work.

Thanks again Dr. Guy, very practical, bless you.

Wonderful video Dr Guy, Thank you very much for this great help and this energy that you implant in your students. I feel very lucky to learn from you.

Dr. Guy, This is a very informative videos. Learning from home puts a new spin on adult learning. I just started this process in March 2020. I have learned a lot since then, even on my writing skills. I believe the information I have gathered will help me be an even better writer! Thank you for sharing your experiences and videos. Thank you so much. Roxy from northern California.

Another Superb informative Guidance Video esp for a year 3 struggling student. If still struggling to get started then rewatch this video and follow steps. I was hooked and watched all of Dr GW vids and realised that Im trying to start my Lit R first without a clear Purpose statement-Now I get it - I need to do this step first then start researching!!! THANK YOU Dr GW for all you do, you are giving me excitement and guidance to succeed in this new skill set!!! Top Man. Si (British Army Commando).

Guy… you are the man !! This is really helpful. I found this video at the right moment. So, I will carry on with the rest of them. Thanks so much and greetings from México.

You are very pragmatic while keeping meaning and grounding in a broad sense. Bravo!

i am going to definitely follow your points and re write my process all over again since i missed out so much and all this time i was assuming i was ding it all ok!!. God Bless You Dr Guy you are great GUY!!!

God bless you for your willingness to share your knowledge with others. This video was a tremendous help!!!!

Do you know that I was laughing loud, when you blew your computer screen at the 6th step? I was laughing not only because it was funny, but also at that moment, I knew how to write my detail and specific dissertation purpose of statement, which was takes months for me to figured it out earlier, You Are Amazing !

MAY GOD BLESS YOU MUCH DR GUY FOR SHARING YOUR NICE WORK.YOU ARE HELPFUL TO ME.

OMGoodness!!! This video has just wrecked my last year or more!!!! Thank you!!! You've been more helpful than my last chair!

Helpful indeed. Trying to remember the logical points is difficult in the midst of the distractions of so much literature always already in streaming review. The purpose considered separate from the problem is key for me tonight since I typically collapse the two and smother... Thanks Guy!

I am so thankful for this video sharing of your knowledge. I've done many rewrites because I couldn't grasp the structure of drafting one. I think after now I can write a far better one moving forward.

Thank you, Dr. Guy. For me, you're the Voice of Light for us Dissertation Writers.

Thank you very much Dr. Guy! This is very practical and useful!

Brilliant explanation with a logical and helpful process to follow. Thank you

You're awesome doc. I was stuck on how to write this research proposal for my counseling program and this helped alot. Thank you. I now have an idea of what to do. You definitely have a new subscriber.

Thank you so much Dr. Guy for pouring your help unreservedly to us :)

thanks Dr. Gaye for the narrative on purpose statement is helping me to structure my work little by little.

Thanks a lot Dr. Guy. This is very informative and quite simple... the entire process made easy to understand and apply. I am practically taking my research lectures from your presentations.. great work!

I'm back. Thanks Dr Guy!

Thank you for the email and your videos are very helpful. Thank you so much from South Africa. Yes you've been placed here on this planet for a reason. Much appreciation Dr White. Thank you very much

Thanks, Dr. Guy, this demonstration design is perfect for those of us, where reading is not enough and sound mentoring makes all the difference in the world. I have been struggling to understand what I was missing and it was the conscious examination of the process itself.

You are amazing ,Thank you

Very informative and I appreciate the assistance.

Amazing. Be blessed

Hello Dr. Guy, Your KZfaq regarding purpose statements assisted me in rewritting a sound purpose statement. Thank you

Excellent video with easy to understand instructions and details.

Hmmm! simply awesome!. I did manage to put together my purpose statement by the finish of the clip...

Thank you. This helped my process immensely.

Wow...Thanks a bunch..You are awesome. Simple and motivating...I am just in the process of applying for a place to study for a doctorate but I feel I CAN finally go through it when its time. I am a Public Health Professional and I am just wandering if there can be some health related examples...thanks for the GREAT work you are doing. God bless!

Dr.Guy, thanks. Very helpful.

Hi Dr. Guy, Thanks for this material. really helpful. I really appreciate if you could elaborate more on "The Sniff Test" particularly the "buzzword" thanks

you´re the best, thanks

Greetings, Dr. Guy, and thanks for sharing this AMAZING process for developing a purpose statement. I followed along and your clearly articulated steps helped me to define a concise purpose statement before the video ended (with a few pauses). However, I wonder if you might have advice for someone who was considering performing a quantitative relationship study at the Masters level? I was under the impression that descriptive studies were too simple for postgraduate research, so I am eager to hear what guidance you might have. Thanks.

super helpful. big thanks.

Thank you

Loved it!

Thank you very much sir.

Thanks!

thanks for ur kind help. I wanted to know the purpose statement comes right before the literature review? and one should achieve all 4 key related specifics( who, where, what, when). since I am working on a planning approach to the rejuvenation of water bodies.

Dr. Guy, thank you so much! Is it a good idea to do an intervention and then qualitatively study the impact of the intervention?

Ooh My God.... Guy.... you are my GUY

Hello, What is the difference between overall purpose and purpose of the study? Because it says that the overall purpose should be written in the abstract, and the purpose of the study in the introduction. Thanks in advance. You are great. Kind Regards...

Hi Dr Guy, your video is informative. And although, it provided clarity, i am totally confused. My purpose seems like it needs to tweaked again. After watching your video, I took a look at my outcome and something is missing. I am not sure what it is, but I know something is missing or something needs to be tweaked. I am a Small Business owner and I want to bring awareness to the high percentage failure rate of small businesses. The purpose of this qualitative Delphi study is to examine if Information Systems will alleviate the high percentage of failure of CEOs within the first five years of operation of small businesses in the United States. Does my purpose statement seem too broad, not enough info, or not measurable? Thank you in advance, Stephanie

Thank you! Very helpful in making things simple and clear.

Hi Dr.Guy! Firstly, you are doing a great work by sharing this knowledge with others. This gave a lot of clarity to me about writing a dissertation. Learning from more of your videos.... I also have a question if you can help please. It is regarding the buzz words/notions of comparison if below is my research details: Problem Statement: Many studies in the field of family relationships have focused on Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law relationships to understand the cause of disharmony if it is the ego that plays a role in individual personalities and the relationship between the two individuals. Query on the buzz word "relationship" may be ! Purpose Statement: The purpose of this is to the of in

the real stuff is at 2.51. the earlier parts are hammering my head with repetitive introductions. Very helpful insights though!. Tq.

Hi Dr. Guy, am having trouble with my research for undergraduate program, you have some material on such, like choosing a good program statement and collecting data for it? Please help.

Amazing material...! Do you have any staff regarding questionnaire design and formulation? I will be glad to follow it up: from South Korea

Dr. Guy, I like the organization of your video on the subject of the Purpose Statement, but how do this work if you are writing on a subject such as Prayerlessness?

Dr. Guy, what do you think of this purpose statement? Thank you. The purpose of this qualitative action research study is to explore advanced English language learners interactions and the way they help each other in collaborative language learning tasks through text blog messages via smart phones at the School of Languages from the Autonomous University of Baja California in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico.

could you attach some samples, that would be great.

Is this the same as Significance of the Study?

Dr. Guy- What if you are writing a Correlational Study, will this take years to complete? Very informative video may I say. Valerie

What if you are examining a relationship to see if/how it exists...rather than trying to prove a relationship?

About figuring out the who ; can I say Young girls and women who are negatively affected by beauty ads ???

You speak of local / organizations, and i am looking at Latina women who have experienced IPV. Would that be the who and the local?

HI DR GUY! AM KIMARIO REVOCATI MASTERS STUDENT ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES OPEN UNIVERSITY OF TANZANIA. YOUR VIDEO HELP ME MUCH. MAY YOU PLEASE HELP ME PROPER WAYS OF STATING SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
