Methodology Chapter Checklist

Before you submit your dissertation, check your methodology chapter against nine questions. This free two-page checklist covers the points examiners most often ask about: alignment, philosophy and design, sampling, data collection, analysis, integration, quality, ethics and feasibility.

What you get

• Nine sections with 3-4 tick-box checks each, so you can see which part of your chapter needs work first.
• A rule for ticking honestly: tick a box only if you can point to the sentence in your chapter that does it.
• No demand for a particular philosophy, method or sample size. The question is always whether your choices are appropriate, consistent and explained for your own study.

Want an independent check?

A self-check shows you what you notice. The Dudovskiy Methodology Audit (pilot) is a written audit of your chapter: an overall rating, findings graded critical, major or minor, each with the exact sentence it refers to, and a revision checklist.

This checklist is a self-review aid. It does not check your results or literature review, and it does not replace your supervisor’s judgement.
