"Hey diyaudio, can you do my dissertation for me?"
No.
..had the same feeling/thought first. And indeed the initial posting appears to be really far away from a dissertation. - But at least mousas17 seems to be honest about the purpose.
And somehow it is not worse compared to when somebody just copies and reassembles older papers/publications.
(

Please don't start beating me. I know or at least believe that most PHD titles are not derived just by copying and reassembling, but by a highly valuable combination of literature research and own contribution).
mousas17:
Will your prof and the committee members to whom you finally will have to defend your thesis accept a forum as a valid scientific source?
If no, better stop this thread.
If yes: Run this thread as your official public interactive source and quote it correctly in your thesis. In order to generate some trust that you are not cheating, most likely many potential contributors would ask you for the a contact to your prof..
The general downside of such approach is that this thread might finally cover to many topics and aspects. And whenever someone posts something which you did not mention before you cannot state it any more as your own contribution, even if you had already worked out this knowledge on your own earlier.
Means such approach bears the risk, that you will have a hard time or even fail to prove enough of own contribution.
