Résumé

Completing a research thesis is not easy. From choosing a supervisor and topic to staying motivated, each stage represents a different challenge and many students struggle through without identifying the skills needed to make the most of their time. Surviving Your Thesis is a wonderful new resource for all doctoral and masters level students that explores the challenges and complexities of successfully engaging in the research process and thesis writing, to offer an accessible and practical guide.

The text takes readers from the very early stages of choosing to do a thesis through to the final stages of examination and publication. Chapters include:

choosing and working with a supervisor
developing a research proposal
motivating yourself
choosing the right research method
responding to criticism
advice from the examiners
preparing work for publication.
