Brilliant for first-timers 26 Oct 2001

By Elvis

Format:Paperback

I first bought this on starting summer before my final year at university. I wanted to prepare for writting my dissertation, and luckily I found this book. It helped me prepare and carry out the project and took the fear out of taking on something which was new and seemed overwhelming. I lent it to a friend who was having trouble with her own dissertation efforts - and she found it helped her too. So much so that she never gave me my copy back. Even after I graduated I remembered that the advice and tips were so helpful that I bought myself another copy!

If you are about to start your dissertation this is the essential guide for you. Whether you are studying at degree or masters level, this book will help you all the way. Offering practical advice in an easy to understand manner it breaks the process down into easily manageble chunks. Don't read it at your own peril.
