Dr Dr I feel like... doing a PhD by Lucy Russell
What is it like to undergo the process of doing a doctorate? This book provides an insight into life as a research student; the elation, the guilt, the isolation, the self-doubt, the loneliness. It provides guidance on the practical issues - such as choosing a topic, finding funding, writing a research proposal, different methods of research, the literature review, academic writing, the question of 'truth' in research, the relationship between student and supervisor, maintaining a clear focus, and the viva examination. It is invaluable reading for anyone thinking about, embarking on or completing a PhD.
