Summary
Final year dissertations often constitute a major part of a student's degree, and as a result, they can cause a lot of unnecessary stress and panic. This book guides readers clearly and calmly through the steps involved in putting together a successful dissertation. There are chapters on what to investigate, what research to carrry out, how best to do the research, what literature to refer to, the best ways to write up and present information, and how to get the most out of a dissertation advisor.
