Dr. Joyner and Dr. Rouse have again put together an in-depth, comprehensive, and practical guide that is a valuable resource for graduate students. In addition to the excellent information provided in earlier editions, this edition also includes important information related to current and emerging trends in technology and valuable case studies focusing on the most common problems encountered in writing at the master’s and doctoral levels.
Writing the Winning Dissertation is an essential guidebook for students writing a master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation. I used the first edition to write an award-winning dissertation and now use the updated edition with the doctoral students I advise. Each chapter of this cogent and comprehensive book addresses crucial elements that lead to success. I highly recommend it to both students and advisors.
In this book, Joyner, Rouse, and Glatthorn thoroughly introduce and explore writing a thesis or a dissertation – walking the reader through every path and pitfall imaginable. It is a must-read for anyone starting one of these writing processes and a good read for the faculty working with them.
This book provides a comprehensive guide to the entire process, from selecting a research topic to the final defence. Its practical advice, clear examples, and step-by-step approach make complex concepts accessible and manageable. Adding this book to the reading list will equip postgraduate students with essential tools and strategies to successfully navigate the dissertation process, enabling them to produce high-quality, impactful research.
This book will be recommended as a resource for all thesis and dissertation candidates.
