I took a gamble on ordering this book since sample pages were not available to be previewed. I was not dissapointed. As a doctoral candidate just starting the disseration work,I have found this book both inspirational and constructive. The information is timely unlike many of the other guides including the one recommended at my own school.
The frightening thing about the PhD journey is not having someone to turn to OUTSIDE the school. I don't want everyone to know my questions! This book is not only supportive in organizing your thinking for your Thesis it is also surprising 'educational' to the journey itself.Thank you Carol Roberts.
Nearly half of all doctoral students complete their course work but not the necessary final step of composing their dissertations. The Dissertation Journey is a no-nonsense guide by Carol M. Roberts to avoiding procrastination, wasted effort, and confusion; it outlines practical, step-by-step guidelines from conceiving a topic to publishing its results. Packed with both helpful general suggestions and specific tips, tricks, and techniques tailored to the needs of doctoral students, The Dissertation Journey includes checklists, sample forms, time management advice, the latest insights to making use of technology, recommendations for support groups, lists of resources for further inquiry, and much more. The Dissertation Journey is especially recommended reading for anyone approaching or hard at work on their own dissertation.
Dr. Roberts seems to know exactly what to say to the graduate student who is about to commence a journey which can may make or break an individual. She write with candor and integrity of what to expect and what to be cautious about.It is written in a non-formal and a non-textbook manner with just enough humor to keep one interested in the subject matter.There seems to be a sense that regardless of the subject matter, which an individual is writing about, there are specific steps and procedures to the format of a thesis or dissertation.A book well worth keeping in your graduate library.TML
Thank you, Dr. Roberts, for putting into concise form an overview for those of us that need it!
I am presently in the last phase of my graduate program and I was in need of some guidance. My wife was looking around for information and found this book. It has been a blessing to me in the pursuit of my Phd.
