  • Heavy book, written by someone academic and elite. A dissertation simply put for such a complexed requirement at university level

    Brilliant book. I read all of it. The chapters are consequectuviely labelled clearly, colours are normal black and white or grey. Could be improved by adding some colour . tHIS HELPED me understand exactly what is a dissertation , when its poorly explained by university lecturers . This helped me understand what is required of me to succeed in my endeavour to create a dissertation topic . The key points are easy , and i can teach this book to any other student because I learnt so much from it. There is no jargon in this whatsoever. the points made are all clear, concise. no repeats. i will be using this book to check if i have ticked all the boxes after i finish my own dissertation soon. as for the price, £5 is realyy good for a dissertation for dummies book, and its affordable for students like myself who receive grants. there is no loss and disadvantage here. When finished, i can re-sell the book , to someone else who may need it. or give it to someone else in my relatives.
