Surviving Your Dissertation by Kjell Erik Rudestam
Using examples from a wide range of disciplines, the authors give readers expert advice on the entire dissertation process. The entire text has been updated with new examples, and there is also an up-to-the-minute discussion of online research and the use of software packages.
"In nearly each chapter the authors list ′suggestions from students′ to provide some relief in the whole processFor the scholar practitioner, the ease with which the whole process is explained will reduce the stress, and yet result in a high standard of research in dissertations. This book is helpful for both the mentor and mentee in Ph.D. or Ed.D. program." -- Jerry Horgen * The School Administrator *
