It is not my style.
It is not my style
A useful guide for students undertaking their final year dissertation. Provides guidance on all aspects of the dissertation including data collection and how to write up the work.
The book is an easy straight- through read or a good one to have on stand by for a quick dip into when a specific topic is required. It supports all the key ideas with useful chapter summaries and key texts to explore issues in greater depth. I'm not sure if the illustrations add much value to the work, but I think the chapter summaries are great and will certainly incorporate them into my delivery for equine undergraduate and Masters students.
Very readable, answering the types of questions that undergraduate students always ask when doing research.
Excellent well written book superb for the dissertation
I have found this book to be very useful when supervising students in their dissertation. It has helped me explain very clearly what it is they need to do in each aspect of their research project. I have also recommended to the students that they use this book due to the clear and accessible way that it has been laid out and written.
A very useful additional resource. Provides the foundations in a clear and accessible format.
I will strongly recommend this textbook to all dissertation students under my supervision. It is easy to read and contains sensible advice to students.
An excellent companion for final year undergraduates.
