For a Research Paper, NOT a Thesis,
By Bull Durham (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Write a Thesis 4E (How to Write a Thesis, 4th ed) (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.

Misleading Title,
This review is from: How to Write a Thesis 4E (How to Write a Thesis, 4th ed) (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.

For High School/Undergrad Papers, Not a Graduate Thesis,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Write a Thesis 4E (How to Write a Thesis, 4th ed) (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 I found the techniques in the book to be outdated...it talks more about card catalogs than computer databases.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.
