Review: "Like the previous editions of this text, the new Third Edition gives readers direction that other dissertation guides often miss, from ways to improve writing, to identifying learning preferences, to dealing with emotional blocks. This is the most comprehensive and user-friendly book available for helping graduate students complete both quantitative and qualitative dissertations in the social sciences. Authors Kjell Erik Rudestam and Rae R. Newton guide the reader through the dissertation process by addressing both content and process issues in detail and by illustrating best practices through copious examples. Using examples from a wide range of disciplines, this is a must-have resource for graduate students in the social sciences who are completing their dissertations."--BOOK JACKET.
