Home  /  AI Courses  /  Your Dissertation in Two Weeks

For undergraduate and postgraduate students

You have a submission date. You have almost nothing written.

Ten modules across fourteen days, from picking a topic to a formatted Word document you can submit. Real citations that exist. Analysis you can defend, in SPSS, its free equivalent or R. Work that is defensibly yours.

This is not a course about getting AI to write your dissertation.

If you ask a chatbot to write your literature review, it will hand you something that reads beautifully and cites eleven papers that do not exist. Supervisors have learned to spot it. Plagiarism and AI detection tools have learned to spot it. Students are failing on exactly this, right now, in Uganda.

What actually works is different, and slower to explain but faster to do. You use AI for the parts where it is genuinely excellent: designing the searches, extracting from real literature you have actually downloaded, structuring an argument, cleaning and interrogating your own data, tightening your own writing, and catching the weaknesses your examiner will attack.

You do the thinking. The system removes the three weeks of staring at a blank page, hunting for sources, and reformatting references at two in the morning.

The work stays yours. The fourteen days is what you get back.

Day zero

Every tool set up free, with the steps written down.

Module one is a full module and it happens before the clock starts. Every tool used anywhere in this course comes with the exact steps to get it without paying, and the reason it was chosen over the alternatives.

Where a tool genuinely is not free, and SPSS is the only one, that is said plainly and free stand ins are given that produce work your department will accept.

  • An AI assistant that can hold a whole chapter, free tier, no card
  • Zotero, its browser connector and its Word plugin, installed and tested
  • Five free routes to real papers, including African Journals Online, plus the extension that opens paywalled ones legally
  • Word and Excel free, including the education licence most students never check
  • A statistics package: your university lab, or the free equivalent that opens SPSS files and produces APA tables
  • R and RStudio, both free, with an honest lesson on whether you should choose R at all
  • Backup, transcription and similarity checking, honestly explained

The system

Ten modules. Fourteen days. One deliverable a day.

Organised by stage, not by day, so a student who already has chapters one and two jumps straight to where they are stuck. The day is tagged on every module.

Module 01 · Day 0

Your toolkit, and how to get every piece of it free

  • An AI assistant that holds a whole chapter, free
  • Zotero, the connector and the Word plugin, tested end to end
  • Free routes to real papers, including African literature
  • Word, Excel and a statistics package without paying
  • R and RStudio free, and whether R is right for you at all
  • Backup, transcription and what similarity checking you can actually access
7 lessons
Module 02 · Days 1 to 2

  • Score three topics on feasibility and reject two
  • Objectives, questions and hypotheses that align one to one
  • Prove the data exists before committing a week
  • Find your supervisor's objections before they do
  • The one page concept note that gets approved
5 lessons
Module 03 · Days 2 to 3

The proposal that is approved first time

  • A problem statement ending in a gap, not a complaint
  • A conceptual framework, drawn
  • Significance and scope without padding
  • The proposal attacked before your supervisor sees it
4 lessons
Module 04 · Days 3 to 6

Literature review, with sources that exist

  • Forty real papers into Zotero in an afternoon
  • Read forty in the time four used to take
  • A synthesis matrix, so the review argues
  • Chapter two written in your own voice
4 lessons
Module 05 · Days 7 to 8

Methodology you can defend

  • A design, and why not the alternatives
  • Sample size by arithmetic, three ways
  • Instrument, validity and reliability
  • Ethics, consent and chapter three
4 lessons
Module 06 · Days 8 to 9

Collecting data, and a file that will not fight you

  • Fieldwork that actually returns instruments
  • A data file your software accepts first time
  • Cleaning, with a log that defends every change
  • Transcribing interviews without losing three days
4 lessons
Module 07 · Days 9 to 11

Analysis, and what the output means

  • The right test for every objective, chosen first
  • Click by click in SPSS or its free equivalent
  • Or one reproducible script in R, if you chose R
  • Output turned into APA sentences
  • Thematic analysis without inventing themes
5 lessons
Module 08 · Days 12 to 13

Chapters four and five, in your own voice

  • Findings that present and nothing else
  • A discussion that argues with the literature
  • Conclusions, recommendations, limitations
  • The abstract last, in fifteen minutes
4 lessons
Module 09 · Days 13 to 14

The Word document, built properly. The module nobody else teaches.

Two full days disappear here for most students, spent renumbering tables by hand and fighting page numbers that will not go Roman then Arabic. None of it is necessary. The setup takes forty minutes.

  • Heading styles, the one idea that makes everything else automatic
  • Roman preliminaries and Arabic body pages, and the unlink step everybody misses
  • Headings that number themselves and renumber when you insert a section
  • Captions and cross references, so Table 4.3 is never wrong again
  • Automatic table of contents, list of tables and list of figures
  • Your university template, the binding margin, and a PDF that survives printing
5 lessons
Module 10 · Day 14

Integrity, similarity, and surviving the defence

  • The one writing habit that keeps similarity low without needing a report
  • What a similarity score actually measures, and what it does not
  • AI use you can defend, and a disclosure statement that is true
  • The structural pass, the read aloud pass, and the second reader
  • Twenty defence questions, answered in advance, including the damaging one

A dissertation is not hard because the thinking is hard. It is hard because nobody ever shows you the order to do it in. Give a student the order and the deadline stops being frightening.

Questions

The ones students actually ask.

Is this cheating?

No, and the course is built specifically so it is not. You do the thinking, the design and the argument. AI does the searching, the structuring, the cleaning and the checking. Every university that allows a spellchecker, a reference manager and a statistics package allows this. Module ten covers your own institution's rules, how to disclose properly when disclosure is required, and what evidence to keep that the work is yours.

Will it get flagged by Turnitin or an AI detector?

Work produced this way is your own writing, so there is nothing for a plagiarism checker to match. Module ten teaches the one habit that keeps similarity low by construction: writing from your own extraction notes with the source closed, because paraphrasing beside the original mirrors its structure even when every word changes. It also explains what a similarity score actually measures and what it does not.

What about invented references?

That is the single biggest way students get caught, and it has its own method inside. The assistant never supplies a source. It designs searches, you find and open the papers, and it only ever works on text you have put in front of it. Everything goes into Zotero as you go, so your reference list cannot drift from your text.

I do not have SPSS. Is that a problem?

No. Module one covers it directly and honestly: SPSS is not free, and no legitimate route makes it permanently free for a student. So the course gives you three routes instead, your university lab, the trial used at the right moment, and a free package that opens SPSS files and produces APA formatted tables. Module seven walks the clicks in both.

Does it work for my subject?

Yes for anything with a proposal, a literature review, a methodology and findings, which covers most undergraduate and postgraduate work in the social sciences, business, education, public health, agriculture and development studies. The analysis module covers both quantitative and qualitative data, and masters level notes are marked where the bar is higher.

I have already started. Is it too late?

No. That is exactly why the course is organised by stage rather than by day. If chapters one and two are done, start at module five and finish in a week. If everything is written and you are drowning in formatting, module nine alone is worth the price.

What if it is not for me?

Decide before you pay. All sales are final. That is why all forty six lessons are listed on the full curriculum page before you are asked for anything, and why a complete lesson is free on this site right now.

After you graduate

The same skills, applied to a job.

Everything you learn here about writing, structuring, checking and formatting transfers straight into an office. That course already exists.
