1.0 out of 5 stars Useful for A-Level Students 12 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book is a very basic guide to doing research. It may be useful for writing essays for A-Level or early university work but is of no value for writing a thesis for a MSc / PhD.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent "how to" book! 26 May 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
As someone who works privately with students, helping them with theses, I highly recommend this book. When students call me in regard to assistance with their thesis, I recommend that they buy this book and use it as a reference. As the title states, this is a "how to" book, and it does an excellent job of walking students through the process of writing a thesis. It is a practical and easy to use guide.

1.0 out of 5 stars For a Research Paper, NOT a Thesis 13 July 2000
By Bull Durham - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The title of this book, "How to Write a Thesis," is so mislabeled, I think it's downright criminal. Rather than being about thesis writing, this book instructs the undergraduate how to write a research or term paper. Chapter One's title is, in fact, "So You Have a Research Paper to Write." I bought this to help me with a Master's thesis. That was a very bad mistake.

I don't even see much use for the undergraduate in this book. The good portion of the text is devoted to formatting. And, I seriously doubt any good professor would allow someone to format their paper from this.

Stay away from this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Title 8 Feb 2000
By David V.Rhodes - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The title implies that this is a book specifically about writing a thesis. Having purchased it for that purpose, I soon realized that it was not about writing a thesis at all but about writing research papers in general. In this regards, it was not useful to me at all. Further, there is no index so attempts to search for specific information pertinent to my needs were futile.

1.0 out of 5 stars For High School/Undergrad Papers, Not a Graduate Thesis 10 May 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Like other reviewers I thought this book would give me some useful pointers on writing my Masters thesis. The book is geared toward shorter research papers and essays perhaps for high school level. I found the techniques in the book to be outdated...it talks more about card catalogs than computer databases. Useful for the disorganized high school/undergrad student, but not what I expected.
