Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

A complete, step-by-step, practical overview of the process of writing successful theses and dissertations Every year thousands of graduate students face the daunting?sometimes terrifying? challenge of writing a thesis or dissertation. But most of them have received little or no instruction on doing it well. This book shows them how in ways no other book does. It combines the practical guidance and theoretical understanding students need to complete their theses or dissertations with maximum insight and minimum stress. Drawing on her extensive research and experience advising hundreds of graduate students, Dr. Irene Clark presents a solid overview of the writing process. Clark shows how to apply innovative theories of process and genre and understand the writing process for what it is: your entrance into a conversation with the scholarly community that will determine your success or failure. This book offers useful strategies for each phase of the process, from choosing advisors and identifying topics through writing, revision, and review. Coverage includes ?  Getting started: overcoming procrastination and writer?s block?  Understanding the genre of the thesis or dissertation?  Speaking the ?language of the academy??  Writing compelling proposals?  Developing and revising drafts ?  Constructing effective literature reviews ?  Working with tables, graphs, and other visual materials ?  Working with advisors and dissertation committees ?  Avoiding inadvertent plagiarism Experience based, theoretically grounded, jargon free, and practical, Writing the Successful Thesis and Dissertation will help you become a more effective writer?and a more meaningful contributor to the scholarly conversation. Preface xiIntroduction: Writing a Thesis or Dissertation: An Overview of the Process xix Chapter 1: Getting Started 1Chapter 2: So What?
