In many ways, the journey of completing a dissertation is like climbing a mountain. It requires planning, research, teamwork, and perseverance. In this fourth edition of their best-selling book, authors Laura Hyatt and Carol Roberts address the challenges that students will face as they journey to the peak of their academic career and complete their dissertation.
Completing a dissertation is a transformative and fulfilling life experience. It requires knowledge, tenacity, and preparation for the inevitable uncertainties that will arise along the way. It also necessitates strategies and techniques for dealing with the unanticipated events that many dissertation writers face, such as procrastination, writer’s block, and the uncertainty of how to conduct a literature review or approach a methods section. This newly revised edition addresses those elements and also includes:
Indispensable information for organizing and writing a dissertation
Recommendations for identifying and writing research methods
Expanded coverage of research ethics
Insightful reflections from students who have effectively written and defended their dissertations
From preparing for the climb to enjoying the view from the summit, this book will assist you to successfully complete The Dissertation Journey.

Описание: With more than three-quarters of a million copies sold since its first publication, The Craft of Research has helped generations of researchers at every level--from first-year undergraduates to advanced graduate students to research reporters in business and government--learn how to conduct effective and meaningful research. Conceived by seasoned researchers and educators Wayne C. Booth, Gregory G. Colomb, and Joseph M. Williams, this fundamental work explains how to find and evaluate sources, anticipate and respond to reader reservations, and integrate these pieces into an argument that stands up to reader critique.
The fourth edition has been thoroughly but respectfully revised by Joseph Bizup and William T. FitzGerald. It retains the original five-part structure, as well as the sound advice of earlier editions, but reflects the way research and writing are taught and practiced today. Its chapters on finding and engaging sources now incorporate recent developments in library and Internet research, emphasizing new techniques made possible by online databases and search engines. Bizup and FitzGerald provide fresh examples and standardized terminology to clarify concepts like argument, warrant, and problem.
Following the same guiding principle as earlier editions--that the skills of doing and reporting research are not just for elite students but for everyone--this new edition retains the accessible voice and direct approach that have made The Craft of Research a leader in the field of research reference. With updated examples and information on evaluation and using contemporary sources, this beloved classic is ready for the next generation of researchers.

Описание: How do we convey felt, intimate encounters between people, shared objects, spaces, and atmospheres? How do we inquire of moments that make themselves felt with the sparest of signs, in flashing glances and gestures; the felt feeling of relations in which unfamiliar forms take shape? Just how might we set about writing sensation?Writing Sensation: Sense, Events, and Encounters with Creative-Relational Inquiry, takes on these questions with creativity, speculation, and invention. This book illuminates the ‘creative-relational’ as a poietic and transversal concept of an inquiry capable of attending to the way events throw themselves together, and how forms take shape in the interplay of difference. Engaging with postfoundational and postqualitative approaches to inquiry, Writing Sensation offers readers both engaging, creative, and affirmative readings of scholars such as Gilles Deleuze, F?lix Guattari, Erin Manning, and Brian Massumi, and enactments of how one may write the immanent moment of emergent circumstances. This book challenges traditional research methods and analysis and offers an approach to writing the sense of an unfolding world that is creative, relational, elusive, and profoundly real.Writing Sensation will be of interest to scholars, practitioners, and students of transdisciplinary and experimental research, post-structural and immanent philosophies, and postfoundational, postqualitative, and creative-relational approaches to inquiry. This book offers a creative and singular engagement with qualitative inquiry, urging a radical openness to the subtle, shifting worlds that unfold in our relational encounters.
