How to Write an Exceptional Thesis or Dissertation: A Step-by-Step Guide from Proposal to Successful Defense

According to the Council of Graduate Schools, only 57 percent of students who start their Ph.D.s complete them within ten years, and many times it’s the thesis or dissertation that is holding them back.

In this book, you will gain insight regarding the entire research process, from organizing your literature and materials most effectively to analyzing and evaluating the big picture for defense. You will learn how to locate and recognize a topic that is appropriate for your thesis or dissertation, and you will discover how to expand on the subject matter to ensure it’s unique and distinct from any other research out there. You will master how to write ethically, objectively, and properly according to your academic subject’s standards. With this book as your guide, you will even find out how your research can take you from a proposal to a published writing career.

With this book, you will learn everything from the ground-level basics to the more detailed breakdown of the research process. You will gain a strong understanding of the difference between a thesis and dissertation, and you will grasp the components expected of your work — regardless of the subject matter of your research. This book will walk you through the entire process step-by-step, teaching you how to structure a planning and writing schedule that will keep the process manageable and not overwhelming.
