"I am quite frankly astounded by how much work I managed to get done during the last two weeks and hope to keep up the pace, even though the boot camp is now ending.”

"In addition to the writing, I have learned several valuable techniques to maximize my productivity as I
complete the dissertation. Some of these strategies include: establishing a daily writing block, using visual
mapping techniques to brainstorm sections of the chapter that remain unclear, identifying and clarifying
the purpose, rationale, background, and theoretical support for the two newest chapters, and soliciting
more feedback from my peers (several of us have
already started a writing group)."
--Graduate Student, American Studies
