Dr. Steve Tippins warns that dissertation committees often challenge the validity of results at the end. Build methodological rigor into your study design from the start, not after data collection, to avoid this costly mistake.
What you don't want is to get to the end of your study and have your committee or a member of your committee even say, well, I don't know if these results are valid. Hopefully we can help you set up the design at the beginning so the concern about validity is handled right up front and we never worry about it again.
