About this title

Synopsis

The drop out rate for Doctoral students is around 30%. Many do not finish the coursework, some do not pass comprehensive exams, but the majority who do not finish could not complete their dissertation. This book is for those beginning their doctoral program, those who are in the middle of the program, those about to embark on their dissertation, but most importantly, it is for those who may be stuck in the dissertation for whatever reason. This book, written as a hyperlinked User's Manual, addresses these topics in short bite sized chapters. Note: First Edition was entitled "Smart Doctor: Getting through your Dissertation and Beyond. This expanded edition includes more examples and includes the whole of "Finish your proposal in 30 days" and stresses the steps necessary after Proposal approval all the way to using your completed dissertation for career advancement.
