Some notes for my dissertation:
I have wrote introduction, literature, hypothesis, rational and result fully. However they needs paraphrasing
Methodology section needs proofreading and some editing.
Abstract, content page, acknowledgement, discussion, limitation and conclusion needs to be written
in discussion section I just wrote some notes which might help in writing the discussion. Also in this section I need full explanation of each graph and table provided.
I need to know if there is a writer specilised in Radiography that can write my dissertation.
