    Why I keep coming back to PaperHelp for dissertation editing

    I've been considering PaperHelp for months but was nervous about quality. Your experience with the literature review chapter specifically is really helpful—that synthesis piece is SO hard to get right. Can I ask: How did you verify the editor actually has a sociology PhD? Was the cost...

    Can someone explain thesis vs dissertation like i'm five years old?

    I'm gonna be totally honest here—I've been in college for two years now, and I still have no idea what the difference is between these two things. Everyone throws around the words "thesis" and "dissertation" like they're common knowledge, but every time I try to google it, I get these super...
