A Prospectus Development Guide for Theses and Dissertations
Author: Hinsdale Bernard
Publisher: Dorrance Publishing
ISBN: 1480984302
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
A Prospectus Development Guide for Theses and Dissertations A Variables Analysis Approach By: Hinsdale Bernard This book will be a game changer for the beginning researcher who is intimidated by the misconception that research and statistics are synonymous. This guide is written with as little statistical jargon as possible, so that the reader will be drawn into the research process vicariously. Hinsdale Bernard wrote this book to encourage budding researchers to claim ownership of the process from its inception. Too often, students stare at a blank sheet of paper for ages before attempting to break the ice. With the variables analysis approach, there is room for trial and error that will make the research process more realistic. Bernard’s strongest focus is on the organization that undergirds the process that helps the researcher keep things in their right perspective. Above all, this system is associated with an almost 100 % success rate of Bernard’s own thesis/dissertation advisees.
