Thinking To Thesis: A Guide To Graduate Success At All Levels

Description

This book is intended for all students engaged in graduate/postdraduate studies - from those who are just starting out, to those who are writing their post-doctoral thesis. The book outlines the important issues and challenges facing graduate students. It covers every important aspect of graduate study from making good use of resources and time-management skills, to completing high-quality assignments and theses or dissertations. The authors' message is simple - studying at the graduate level is highly rewarding and definitely manageable, but you have to make it that way by being proactive and thoughtful, and employing strategies that produce the desired results. A step-by-step approach has been used for explanations. In addition, useful hints, tips and examples are provided throughout the book. There is also a troubleshooting chapter at the end of the book dealing with the most common problems graduate students encounter.
