I really liked the layout of this book. It is very clear and straight foreward and helps students doing each stage of the dissertation.
I think it is a good additional book guiding the students in how to plan and carry out their dissertation.
A good starting point for students who are at the initial stages of planning their dissertation. Covers key areas, and would make an excellent reference handbook. Students would then need to refer to other texts for further depth, but this is a good introductory text.
A well-laid out and accessible book, ideal for undergraduates as a starting point for their dissertation. Recommended for early reading to get them started.
