Product Description
Complete Your Thesis or Dissertation Successfully (WebPDF)
Author: JG Maree
Format: Digital
Complete your thesis or dissertation successfully: Practical guidelines provides fundamentally important information to students of the social sciences completing their master’s or doctoral studies, as well as to their supervisors and study leaders.
Eminent scholars have contributed to the book and have created a text that is easy to read and use, yet does not water down the conceptual and terminological complexities of the process. For the very first time, the most recent and current perspectives on how to complete master’s or doctoral studies have been brought together in one publication that will equip relatively inexperienced researchers to write a thesis or dissertation.
Current, practical, South African, up-to-date and cross-disciplinary, the book includes numerous examples of best practice, and provides research sites to consult and includes a chapter on article writing.
