An exceptional guide June 8, 2009
B. McKenna
The book is clearly organized and provides extremely helpful information. It is very comprehensive. I was impressed that the book even discussed how to propose your thesis and defend your dissertation. The literature review section was especially detailed and well written. I had stopped working on my thesis for a while and this book has given me the direction I needed to start writing again. I would recommend this book to everyone in psychology who is required to write a thesis or a dissertation. It would also be helpful to new faculty members when advising students.
A+++ rating!! Author is spot on knowledge of writing a dissertation April 5, 2009
Sue Elvins (Council Bluffs, IA)
This book was something I had been hesitant to purchase but when I got it I could not put it down. It is filled with beneficial resources from cover to cover! I highly suggest this book for students who have started writing a Doctorate. This book provides information on planning, research and finally writing it. The book also discusses how to set up resources in a bibliography format the correct way.
