Flexibility
Students attending doctoral be able to chane according to the prevailing circumstances.School
programs require a lot of flexibility (Collins, 2015). This is the sense that such students have to
balance family responsibilities and at the same time concentrate on the studies at the institution.
Most of the programs are offered as online programs, and these programs changes according to
the daily tasks. One is required to apply learning skills, one of them being flexibility to enable
one to succeed in their studies.
Persistence
Persistence is the determinant tool between those who start their doctoral studies and those who
finish their studies . It’s important for a doctoral student to be persistent. The doctorate programs
involve writing a lot of drafts and doing many assignments. With persistent, the reward is a
doctoral award.

Hard work
The doctoral program is much engaging with assignments, presentation s, and project writing.
One is required to work hard on these activities to succeed in their studies. Without hard work, it
may lead to an unfinished course.
Self-advocacy
The student believes in own self that they are capable of doing anything that it might take their
way to acquire their doctoral (Hase, 2016) .The student uses any available resources to
succeed,which includes:

only through appropriate problem solving techniques (Root, Browder, Saunders & Lo, 2017).
For example, financial challenges where one is required to balance the small amount of finance
among many needs.
Ability to make promt decisions
Decision making is an essential attribute for any student in learning institutions. They have to
decide between different aspects of learning. For example, in deciding on the best field of
specialization.it requires high ability to make the prompt and appropriate decision (Modecki,

Zimmer‐Gembeck & Guerra, 2017).
Ability to cooperate in a group.
Doctoral learning usually involves group work in doing assignment .cooperation is paramount
for this case where every member of the group is required to participate actively, as each is
allocated the specific task to accomplished.

specifically for doctoral education, listening and speaking skills are applied in lecture halls and
during the presentation of the projects. It's only through listening that one can understand what is
being taught. The two makes significant aspects of communication (Brownell, 2010).
