Using examples from a wide range of disciplines, they a supply expert advice on the entire dissertation process: selecting a suitable topic; conducting a literature review; managing data overload; building an argument; presenting the material, data, and results; and, working with faculty committees.
New to this Edition:
- The use of the internet as a source of reference material and as a tool for data collection methods
- Greatly expanded coverage of writing the qualitatively based dissertation from methods to writing up the results (including the use of software packages for qualitative analysis)
- Detailed coverage of presenting the results, including recent challenges to null hypothesis significance testing
- Tables showing Web addresses (URLs) for quantitative and qualitative software as well as numerous other sources of information for the dissertation student
