Joel Schuldheisz, Portland, OregonPh. D., Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon
"Eddy was instrumental in assisting me to develop a realistic timetable and short term goals. By breaking the process into sequential and manageable steps, a framework was provided that created motivation and direction for completing my (doctoral) thesis. The help I received on my topic development caused the process to stay focused and realistic, while remaining relevant and meaningful. The insightful comments I received helped me to reduce the influence of confounding variables and increased the reliability and validity of my research design. The review and critique I received put me one step ahead of my committee, helping me to clarify wording, improve organization, eliminate redundancy, and identify potential problem areas. Eddy’s unique ability to see the process from the committee’s perspective was an invaluable resource. His insight into the ‘chemistry’ and composition of the committee enabled me to comprehensively prepare for my oral defense. His evaluation of my presentation and manuscript gave me the confidence to handle the pressure of the oral defense."

"Several years had elapsed since I completed my masters degree, so the information on ‘research culture’ helped me better understand the UC system. Because of changes in the faculty, interest in my research dropped drastically, making the selection of a committee Chair quite difficult, but Eddy proposed several unique options that made the process work for me. Although I had already chosen a topic, the advice I got helped me narrow the field and focus in an area that was much more suited to me. One of my biggest fears was composing my research proposal, but Eddy took me through the process step by step, with the result that my proposal was accepted and approved on the first submittal. The manuscript review and editing Eddy did allowed me to submit a professional product right from the start. Because of my personal scientific philosophy, I anticipated some difficulties with my oral defense, but the coaching I received from Eddy allowed me to approach this meeting with great confidence, and experience success."

"One of the most important services I received was the timely and gratifying way in which my questions were answered. Choosing a topic could have been one of my biggest roadblocks, but after reviewing the criteria necessary to reach a decision, I was able to focus on an appropriate topic. I had no idea where to start in writing my research proposal, but the step-by-step guidance and advice I received allowed me to clearly see all the components and to write a proposal that was quickly approved. The advice I received saved me from creating a data collection plan that would have proved to be disastrous."
