This book evolved
from fifteen years' experience of teaching thesis writing.
The contents have been tried and tested with postgraduates
and academics. Early chapters explore the ambiguities
and subtleties of thesis writing in detail. Later chapters
are more compact, listing steps in the writing process.
All chapters provide examples to illustrate techniques
and activities to progress writing.
When you write a thesis, be ready to develop new modes
of writing. The harsh reality is that if you like to
work to goals, you are likely to have to submit to floundering
around, reconstructing your well laid plans; while if
you are the kind of person who hates to be driven by
goals, or does not see the point of them, you will have
to submit to deadlines and milestones that may seem
like millstones. This book will help you cope with the
challenges inherent in writing your thesis.
