Penn Prevents ABD: Provides Dissertation Bootcamp

Dissertation Bootcamp Rules:

  • Four hours a day for two weeks, starting at 9:00 AM
  • Only a 30-minute break.
  • No emailing.
  • Internet use for academic purposes only.
  • $50 fee back if you complete the process.

The Writing Center at Penn is serious about focusing its grad students on their dissertations. Uninterrupted  time for researching, structuring, writing their dissertations is something grad students crave. Penn's bootcamp provides it. Grad students praise it.

Maybe I should structure 4 hours a day without email or phone for writing...
