5.0 out of 5 stars Indespensible book for Seniors and Graduate Students, September 10, 1998
This review is from: Writing a Thesis: Substance And Style (Paperback)
This is an EXCELLANT reference manual for anyone writing a senior project, a master's thesis, or a doctoral dissertation. The book is easy to read and offers step-by-step advice on how to pick a research topic, how to write your proposal, introduction, methods section, results, and discussion. Examples are included for each phase and the author even gives advice on what NOT to write, and how to avoid common mistakes. This is indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for design, development, and writing!, May 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Writing a Thesis: Substance And Style (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 book addresses students' concerns about design, development, and writing, as well as presentation. In addition, it does an excellent job of walking students through the process of writing a thesis. It is a practical and easy to use guide.
