Description
Navigate Your Capstone Journey with Confidence—and with the Power of Generative AI
Writing a capstone project is not like writing a paper. It’s like climbing Mount Everest. Many doctoral students begin the climb with outdated tools and the wrong preparation, leading to confusion, delays, and overwhelming frustration. That’s where this book comes in.
Qualitative Capstone Project Mastery is designed for today’s doctoral student. It offers a clear, strategic path built on the real-world experience of guiding hundreds of learners through the doctoral process. The book introduces a Logical Developmental Sequence—a research-based framework that helps you build the mental scaffolding necessary to complete your capstone with clarity and efficiency.
But it doesn’t stop there.
This book is one of the first to fully integrate Generative AI into the research and writing process. Learn how to use AI tools to:
