本书特色
this book is concerned with both how to
conduct research and how to write a thesis or a dissertation.
graduate students, i have found,face difficulties not only in
actual research but also in writing up theirtheses/dissertations.
this book addresses questions that have actuallybeen experienced by
myself and my students. for example. how can iselect a suitable
topic? which research design should i employ? what isthe best time
for me to collect data and in which way? should i analyze the data
quantitatively or qualitatively? what is the difference
betweenreporting a result and discussing a result? what should be
covered by aliterature review?
