How To Write A Better Thesis (3rd Edition) Reviews

Clear, coherent, informative and practical - this book with its transparent approach, chapter summaries and checklists, actually practices what it preaches when it states People won't trouble to understand your ideas if they have to struggle with your writing, while clear lively writing creates the impression that what you say is worth understanding (page 196). I recommend this book as a 'must-read' to anyone starting on their thesis writing journey. -Dr Meg O'Reilly, Senior Lecturer, Division of Teaching & Learning, Southern Cross University
