Committee Formation Process: PhD Students
PhD students request the formation of their dissertation committee as part of an assignment during a course in their program.
Using information that students share about their dissertation interests, program leaders match them with an appropriate committee chair and second committee member. Students may request a specific faculty member to serve on their committee. Those requests are reviewed by program leaders to ensure the faculty member’s availability and appropriate expertise.
Students will be notified about who is on their committee prior to the term in which they start their dissertation courses. At that time, students are encouraged to introduce themselves to their committee members. However, committee members will not review research drafts prior to the beginning of the dissertation courses.
PhD Courses with Committee Formation Assignment
Committee formation process: professional doctorate students.
Students in professional doctorate programs at Walden should refer to their program leadership or Student Success Advisors regarding the committee formation process.

The Walden Dissertation Process
2019, Walden University Doctoral Student Cohort
Walden University has a 6 part dissertation process (prospectus, proposal, IRB, defense, research, final defense). Like all doctoral journeys there are important things to do and to avoid. This presentation is an overview and detailed discussion of the Walden University dissertation process. The presentation has universal applicability as the Walden model mirrors many other universities processes. It is a companion lecture to the book 'My Doctoral Journey' (available at Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/Doctoral-Journey-Carter-Matherly-Ph-D/dp/1982931086/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1544112085&sr=8-1).

The purpose of this study is to examine the flow of doctoral students who are also research assistants and in the dissertation process. The study was designed using the case study method. The case undertaken in the study was the dissertation process. Eleven participants were selected into the study using maximum variation sampling. Face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the transcripts. The descriptive analysis of the data identified four main themes: (i) personal characteristics, including tackling challenges, sense of responsibility and planned work habits; (ii) interest in the field, including decision making about postgraduate education, satisfaction from postgraduate education, the fit between the doctoral field and the student’s interests and skills, and academic goals; (iii) emotional attachment, including enjoyed stages of the dissertation process, feelings aroused by the dissertation, and concentration on the dissertation process; and (iv) living the flow.

2008-03-12 Pre-print Part 7 4th Presentation for Don Jacobs. Routledge
Simon Pockley
Our last dissertation presentation before our closing speakers is also a biographical “participant story” of sorts, though it is a story about the author’s father and his expedition across the plains of Australia. It is also our only electronic dissertation representative. In fact, it was the world’s first electronic, Web-based dissertation as far as we know. Yes, Dr. Simon Pockley was responsible for the world’s first online doctoral thesis, “The Flight of Ducks,” which you can access on the World Wide Web. I’ll write it down for you now: www.duckdigital.net/FOD/. Simon receives invitations to speak at National and International forums where he speaks, and also writes about, values in the ecology of information management. He was a contributor to UNESCO’s Guide to Preservation and Digital Heritage as well as the UNESCO Guide to Electronic Theses and Dissertations. He lives in Australia and is in demand as a PhD supervisor, examiner, and student mentor. He works from time to time as a consultant.
Day Seven focuses on the voices of research participants, ending with an example of a web-based dissertation. The day closes with commentary from some pioneers whose experience summarizes the importance of this work.

The New Birmingham Review, Dissertation Special Edition (2015)
Ioana Cerasella Chis , The New Birmingham Review , Eliza Garwood
Dissertations constitute a major part of early academic work. Whether as an undergraduate or masters’ student, the completion of the dissertation stands as testament to one's development throughout university education. For many, the dissertation is the first real instance of having to grapple with completing an extended piece of research-based work, with all that this entails. Students, when confronted with the project of writing their dissertation, face the challenge of selecting a problematic to address; of developing research questions and methods for answering these; of doing research (in terms of both existing literature as well as using research methods to address novel questions); and of writing this all up and presenting it with the clarity and precision demanded by assessment criteria. It goes without saying that the dissertation is, for many, a great undertaking which entails serious engagement and immense effort. It is for these reasons and more that the dissertation’s fate is lamentable. As a piece of work it is produced as part of a broader assessment of one’s academic ability, and as such the dissertation has a very particular institutional life with all the limitations this implies. Many individuals keep their dissertations and cherish them for a long time after their completion, granted – however, engagement with student dissertations beyond this point is usually limited to the supervisor and secondary marker. When the assessment is done, the dissertation loses any movement, becomes a static artefact archived somewhere and rarely read by anybody else.

Of the many graduate students that start their doctoral journey, only half of them successfully complete their degree. For a majority of those who do not, not completing the dissertation process accounts for why they never graduated. This article explores the factors that contribute to successfully completing a dissertation using one graduate student's doctoral experience.
