5.0 out of 5 stars A friendly and well-written book, January 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dissertations & Theses from Start to Finish: Psychology and Related Fields (Paperback)

This book made the entire dissertation and thesis writing process clear and easy to follow. It is well laid out, allowing the reader to construct their ideas in a logical sequence, with one segment adding on to the next. I also enjoyed the honest observations made by the authors, and this aspect gave me much needed insight as to how to approach faculty and professors about my dissertation and thesis without becoming a burden upon their time and resources. It's also a wonderful general guide for people interested in how to plan, execute, and complete any scientific research. I would highly recommend this book to any student who needs to strengthen their knowledge base about the thesis and dissertation writing process.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive step-by-step guide., May 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dissertations & Theses from Start to Finish: Psychology and Related Fields (Paperback)

As someone who works privately with students, helping them with dissertations and theses, I highly recommend this book. My doctorate is in Education, and I wish that this book had been available when I was doing my dissertation. Now, when students call me in regard to assistance with their dissertation or thesis, I recommend that they buy this book and use it as an ongoing reference. As the title states, this book takes students through every step of the dissertation or thesis process, from proposal to completion. It is one of the most comprehensive guides that I have come across in recent years.
