CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS

When iread this book,i really enjoyed it especially if you are planning to start your thesis and the instructions r very clear and short.

Based on our students' reviews

I give this book as a gift to each of my new PhD students because my experience is that the students simply don't understand the process. I came upon it a couple years ago, and the feedback from the students has been overwhelmingly positive. I haven't personally read it, but the students (who, after all, are the ones it is aimed at), recommend it highly.

one for the canon

If you're just starting your doctoral work and are terrified, buy this book. If you're already writing your dissertation and are stalled, buy this book. If you're a thesis advisor seeking to add another work to the canon on dissertation writing, buy this book. Joan Bolker has a ton of experience working with students; she has seen it all. Her tone combines "C'mon don't be a wuss, you can DO this," with the caring concern of any good mum. She gives the reader tips for working through all the worst possible moments of thesis writing and she covers a range of topics not specifically related to the writing but to all the other considerations: choosing your committee and then working with them; dealing with interruptions; life after the disseration, and more. I particularly like the chapter entitled "The Best Dissertation is a Done Dissertation." I think this is a terrific book.

Expert writing advice from the editor of the Boston Globe best-seller, The Writer's Home Companion

Dissertation writers need strong, practical advice, as well as someone to assure them that their struggles aren't unique. Joan Bolker, midwife to more than one hundred dissertations and co-founder of the Harvard Writing Center, offers invaluable suggestions for the graduate-student writer. Using positive reinforcement, she begins by reminding thesis writers that being able to devote themselves to a project that truly interests them can be a pleasurable adventure. She encourages them to pay close attention to their writing method in order to discover their individual work strategies that promote productivity; to stop feeling fearful that they may disappoint their advisors or family members; and to tailor their theses to their own writing style and personality needs. Using field-tested strategies she assists the student through the entire thesis-writing process, offering advice on choosing a topic and an advisor, on disciplining one's self to work at least fifteen minutes each day; setting short-term deadlines, on revising and defing the thesis, and on life and publication after the dissertation. Bolker makes writing the dissertation an enjoyable challenge.
