| Abstract
|
:
|
Producing a dissertation is a major requirement of an increasing number of courses. The dissertation is likely to be the largest single piece of work you will be asked to produce. "Excellent Dissertations!" guides you through the whole process: planning your dissertation project, managing it, and writing it up. This book offers friendly and practical advice. It addresses all the questions students ask, including: How do I choose a topic? How should I manage my time? How can I make best use of my supervisor? How many chapters should my dissertation have? And which is the best referencing system to use? "Excellent Dissertations!" is a must for every student with a dissertation to do. It is a lively, concise, and to-the point guide, which will steer you through the entire process.
