Raktažodžiai:
Writing a dissertation is like running a marathon: a successful one takes months of careful planning and preparation. This practical guide takes undergraduate students step-by-step through the process of completing a dissertation, from the initial stages of generating original ideas and planning the project through to writing their first draft and critically reviewing their own work.

It shows students how to choose the most appropriate methods for collecting and analysing their data and how to then integrate this research into their dissertation. Students will learn how to develop consistent and persuasive arguments and write up their research in a clear and concise style.

This book is an essential resource for undergraduates of all disciplines who are required to write a dissertation as part of their degree.

Key strengths are its use of language which is easy to understand and clear exercises. This is a great book and I advise my students to buy it.' - L Hibberd, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK 'I like the straightforwardness of the book: 'it does what is says on the tin' - and I think undergraduate students appreciate this, especially if they are somewhat intimidated by the task of having to design their own article-length piece of original research.' - S Rossbach, University of Kent, UK Amazon customer reviews - 'Step by step guidance just what you need in your final year. Great tips to help you in your major project.' 'This is a very good book for those undertaking a dissertation for the first time. It reads well and is not too jargonistic!'
