Written in an engaging and accessible manner, this textbook is an essential resource for postgraduate students across the social sciences required to complete a Masters dissertation.
Excellent book which will provide guidance throughout
I have shown this text to some of our students who are due to start the dissertation module in January. They found the cover, the presentation of ideas, (the use of white space, tables, font, bold) and writing style resulted in seemingly organised material which is easily navigated and digested! I'll suggest to the team that this become essential reading for the next year's students who will number about 60.
Clearly written giving good guidance for studetns who worry about the 'level' required of them at M level.
Excellent research ethics chapter
Essential read for those doing their Masters dissertation
Useful text to show students I am supervising especially overseas students to guide them through the process.
Really useful text for students who will progress to dissertation stage.
An accessible, 'step-by-step' guide to all aspects of completing a Masters dissertation. The initial chapters 'What is a Masters?' and 'Managing your transition to Masters' provide a sound base from which to embark on this level of research and academic writing.
This book covers in a single volume the essential issues that Masters students need to consider when planning and writing up their dissertations. A particular strength is the consideration of different types of dissertation. It is also nice to see Chris Hart's previous 2-volume guidance on lit searching and lit reviewing distilled within a single text.
Good additional text book that assists students in a structured and achievable way through their dissertation.
Fantastic
