Product Description

About the Author

As Senior Lecturer in the school of Construction Economics and Management at South Bank University, Dr Shamil Naoum is well-placed to write a book on the ins and outs of dissertation research and writing for construction students. Dr Naoum's own student days began in Baghdad, Iraq where he acquired a BSc in Building and Construction Engineering, before moving to England where he studied at Aston and Brunel University. Dr Naoum was awarded a PhD in Construction Management just before starting his current post. Dr Naoum has also worked extensively within the construction industry as a Resident Engineer, Project Manager, Planning Consultant and Project Management Consultant, so possesses a unique familiarity with both academic and professional processes in construction. He has published many articles and has presented numerous conference papers, but Dissertation Research and Writing for Construction Students is his only book - to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me to a dissertation score of 61% in less than 8 weeks! 30 Sep 2007

By James E. Male

Format:Paperback

Ok, like many students my attitude to the dissertation was "I'll start it later". Unfortunately later only really started to panic me one Christmas and the new year was out the way. All I had was a topic and a synopsis will a lowly C mark.
What did I do to get out of this situation? I opened my copy of "Dissertation and Research writing for Construction Students" and started to read. Instantly my mind was put at ease as I noted that the book explained all the chapters required in detail as well as how to write the literature review, structure questionnaires and write up your findings.
In short with this book I feel that you can't fail but to write a dissertation that will help you achive whatever pass rate you aspire to.
Basically, get it or fail!

5.0 out of 5 stars The only dissertation book you'll ever need! 24 Mar 2008

By Ms. C. L. Grundy

Format:Paperback

I bought this book to assist with my dissertation and I wasn't disappointed. I didn't have a clue where to start, what sections had to be included, the content of these sections and all the common questions you are probably also asking right now. Fear not!! Click on buy this book and in a day or so you'll have all the answers you need! I am confident this is the only book you'll need (not so great for your lengthy reference list however!)

Good luck and may the words flow freely!
