Recently bought a book to help with my dissertation! I went in to Blackwells and found a whole stand on books dedicated to helping final year undergraduate students! I picked up Planning Your Dissertation by Kate Williams as part of the pocket study skills section. Here is the link!
I chose that particular one because as I initially flicked through it I thought it appeared interactive and relevant to all types of dissertations. So far I got up to chapter 9 ‘Think: what are you looking for?” which provoked an intriguing question. What exactly am I looking for? In my case I feel I am not looking for anything in particular, only to compile evidence to warrant a new guideline for transplant recipients. Perhaps I may even write a guideline myself, depending on what my supervisor decides. At this point I still feel a little daunted, there’s so much to do with such little time. And the nature of an analysis project, my self discipline is being tested. Will keep updating this blog for myself and anyone else writing a dissertation and curious to see my journey.
