Very user friendly with some great tips. I will be "ABD" in August and used this text for my final "Methods of Inquiry" class. I found the information useful for both quantitative and qualitative writing. I will definitely be using this as a guide when I start my dissertation this fall!
I am in the beginning stages of my dissertation and this has been hugely helpful. The beginning and end of the book should be read at the beginning of any phd program and again when you are ready for your dissertation. The middle of the book addresses methods etc, and will be very relevant as I work on my proposal, IRB, etc. I really like the tone and how the authors write ... It's is clear and easy to understand.
This was a comprehensive and thorough exploration of the process of writing a dissertation from choosing a topic to publication. It includes ample detail on both quantitative and qualitative data, and includes great sections on "student tips". The one thing I wished I had seen more of was better information on how to overcome some of the emotional battles involved. The title implies it's going to be more of a hand-holding book than it is. It's really a statement of facts and examples.. which isn't bad! Everyone responds differently to certain tones. Overall, I would recommend it for any student embarking on this journey (like me). Happy dissertation-ing!
I feel that this book is a good guy for students pursuing the DBA or Ph.D. The details laid out in this book makes it easy to understand. This is a good guide.
The discussion of sub-topics were straight to the point and were easy to grasp. I use it in one of my PhD courses.
this book has covereed many small but significant parts of the dissertation, which are overlooked by many other similar books. I found it in my advisor desk, which grabed by attention quickly, therefore, I decided to buy one for myself.
Extremely useful in creating my dissertation. Very well organized without any unnecessary terminology that any graduate student would struggle understanding.
Fast shipping, which I needed since this was a surprise required reading for my class.
