The Portable Dissertation Advisor

Miles T. Bryant,

The Portable Dissertation Advisor

"I do not believe I have ever seen a work of this kind that so thoroughly and so carefully examines the important consideration of working with the students′ advisor, relationships with the students′ supervisory committee, and the oral defense. Students using this text will certainly applaud this work."
M. Scott Norton, Professor
Arizona State University

Having problems getting your dissertation finished? Here is the help you need!

Getting your doctorate part-time or via the computer makes it difficult to schedule meetings with your advisor, use the library′s resources, or discuss your topic ideas and dissertation difficulties with fellow students. Problems unique to nontraditional graduate students are alleviated with this easy-to-use dissertation guide. In sections devised to follow the conventional structure of a dissertation, Bryant organizes the book to help you locate vital information quickly and efficiently.

Practical, targeted, and no-nonsense, this book includes suggestions and tips for:

  • Finding a topic, a theory, and a research method
  • Creating a dissertation support group, plus an appendix listing activities for a support group
  • Using a research library from off campus
