-- James R. Machell, DeanWriting 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.
-- Susan Colby, Director of Faculty Professional Development, Appalachian State University; Boone, NCIn 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.
