Synopsis
This book evolved from fifteen years' experience of teaching thesis writing. The contents have been tried and tested with postgraduates and academics. Early chapters explore the ambiguities and subtleties of thesis writing in detail. Later chapters are more compact, listing steps in the writing process. All chapters provide examples to illustrate techniques and activities to progress writing.
When you write a thesis, be ready to develop new modes of writing. The harsh reality is that if you like to work to goals, you are likely to have to submit to floundering around, reconstructing your well laid plans; while if you are the kind of person who hates to be driven by goals, or does not see the point of them, you will have to submit to deadlines and milestones that may seem like millstones. This book will help you cope with the challenges inherent in writing your thesis.
