When should I submit my work? How many times must I submit? Can I submit in sections?
Submit whenever you want to at whatever stage you want to. Time and money often determine the frequency  .
Best results are achieved when:
- you submit each chapter as you have written it
- also submit at two crucial stages: full proposal and full dissertation.
Multiple edits offer a better chance of finding everything that needs changing and accommodating any suggestions from your supervisor/chair, your committee, your review board, and of course the final examiners.
Consistency across an entire document and correct formatting with all the fiddly crosschecks can only be done with full documents like the proposal and the dissertation: that includes front pages, chapters, and back pages.
We generally advise not editing bits and pieces of a bigger document. Not productive in the long run.
Often we work with students over a number of years. Without fail, working together long term is an amazing process for us.
