Most advanced educational courses now include a dissertation or research
project of some kind. For many students this can be a terrifying
experience. Although colleges and universities may have different
systems, basic principles for planning research and making the
compromise between what is desirable and what is feasable are the same.
This book aims to provide a plain guide to ways of producing a
dissertation with minimum stress and frustration. It covers such areas
as choosing a subject, planning the total work, selecting research
methods and techniques, written style and presentation.
