A Practical and Comprehensive Guide to Planning, Writing, and Defending Your Dissertation
About this book
Reach the summit of the dissertation mountain.
In many ways, the journey of completing a dissertation is like climbing a mountain. It requires planning, research, teamwork, and perseverance. In this fourth edition of their best-selling book, authors Laura Hyatt and Carol Roberts address the challenges that students will face as they journey to the peak of their academic career and complete their dissertation.
Completing a dissertation is a transformative and fulfilling life experience. It requires knowledge, tenacity, and preparation for the inevitable uncertainties that will arise along the way. It also necessitates strategies and techniques for dealing with the unanticipated events that many dissertation writers face, such as procrastination, writer's block, and the uncertainty of how to conduct a literature review or approach a methods section. This newly revised edition addresses those elements and also includes:
- Indispensable information for organizing and writing a dissertation
- Recommendations for identifying and writing research methods
- Expanded coverage of research ethics
- Insightful reflections from students who have effectively written and defended their dissertations
From preparing for the climb to enjoying the view from the summit, this book will assist you to successfully complete The Dissertation Journey.
