Product Description

Review

"In nearly each chapter the authors list 'suggestions from students' to provide some relief in the whole process. For the scholar practitioner, the ease with which the whole process is explained will reduce the stress, and yet result in a high standard of research in dissertations. This book is helpful for both the mentor and mentee in Ph.D. or Ed.D. program." (Jerry Horgen The School Administrator )


Product Description

'The book is an excellent edition to those already available in the area and provides a very practical guide that students can pick up and use for reference throughout their dissertation' - ESCalate

Like the previous editions of this bestselling text, Surviving Your Dissertation: A Comprehensive Guide to Content and Process, Third Edition offers readers guidance that other dissertation guides often miss, from ways to improve one's writing, to identifying one's learning preferences, to dealing with emotional blocks. Using examples from a wide range of disciplines, the authors give readers expert advice on the entire dissertation process: selecting a suitable topic; conducting a literature review; managing data overload; building an argument; presenting the material, data, and results; and working with faculty committees. The entire text has been updated and fresh examples have been added to it. This edition features an up-to-the-minute discussion of online research and the use of software packages. The authors have expanded their coverage of qualitative work, and added information about the use of mixed methods to the book. These updates and more make the Third Edition of Surviving Your Dissertation a must have resource for graduate students.

Key Features of the Third Edition:

Walks readers through the dissertation process as an ideal mentor would.

Devotes more attention to qualitative work, and touches upon mixed methods.

Discusses online library resources and completing one’s dissertation via the Internet.

Features new material on the use of graphics.

Includes information about informed consent forms. (20080807)

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!, 2 Feb 2006
This review is from: Surviving Your Dissertation: A Comprehensive Guide to Content and Process (Paperback)
After pondering over which book to select to help me write my dissertation I chose this one and I'm so glad that I did. Before reading this book I knew nothing about the various chapters you should include in your dissertation. This book teaches you alot about how to structure your work and with its detailed explanations allows you to become familiar with various terminology. Alongside reading this book I attended dissertation lectures offered by my degree institution. Because I had read this book I found it easy to relate to the information given by my tutor. I am still writing my dissertation and constantly refer back to this book. I am a drama degree student and feel that anyone studying any degree subject would find it very useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Addresses students' concerns., 1 Feb 2002
By bearwrite@aol.com (Orange County, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Surviving Your Dissertation: A Comprehensive Guide to Content and Process (Paperback)
As someone who works privately with students, helping them with dissertations, I highly recommend this book. When students contact me in regard to assistance with their dissertation, I recommend that they buy this book and use it as a reference. The information contained in this book anticipates and answers the questions that students have about the dissertation process and the contents of each chapter. It is one of the most practical guides for writing a dissertation that I have come across.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can you embark on your journey without this roadmap?, 30 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Surviving Your Dissertation: A Comprehensive Guide to Content and Process (Paperback)
Written for students about to embark on a masters thesis or doctoral dissertation this book, provides an overview of the research process, from the first step of choosing a suitable topic to the finished product. As the production of a research project or enquiry is similar, many elements of this book may also be considered useful for under-graduates preparing for completion of their course. The publishers also claim the text is suitable for professors for providing guidance to students. During the inevitable moments of panic when your tutor is fast asleep in bed and you are staring at a blank computer screen, turn to a copy of Surviving Your Dissertation for comfort and inspiration. Each chapter concludes with student's suggestions for completing the tasks previously outlined and you may find practical advice given by someone who has survived the journey before you. This book may help you to get started if you have a long way to go, help you to decide on the road to take, plan your route, and reach your destination.
