When it comes to completing your degree, you need to follow some steps to achieve success. In my course Student Success Masterclass: 6 Steps To Complete Your Degree, I have put together 6 things where struggle most of the time.

While starting a degree, the ultimate goal is to finish your degree on a high note. Following these steps will guarantee that you complete your degree and have a great career.

Develop a Habit of Reading, Writing, and Thinking

I emphasize that you should do these three things at once. You have often heard that your habits decide whether you reach your goal or not. Make sure that you have the habit of reading, writing, and thinking.

Writing is a very important part of completing your degree. In my course, I have explained in detail how to improve your writing.

Set up Weekly Status Report

I have followed this step during my Ph.D. degree and it helped me all the way. Make sure that you send a weekly status report to your supervisor. List five things that you have achieved in the past week. Also, list five things you will focus on in the upcoming week.

This will hardly take a few minutes but develop an excellent relationship with your supervisor. Moreover, it will help in staying focused and work in the right direction.

Plan and Master Your Tasks

Throughout your degree, you have to complete a list of tasks to achieve your ultimate goal. In the course, I have taught principles to set up your Kanban board and how to get the most out of it.

In this video, I have explained three steps in detail while the remaining three steps are available in the course.
