A good read with some ideas for our students, however because it is at Master Level, is more indepth than our students at this stage require.
This book covers in a single volume the essential issues that Masters students need to consider when planning and writing up their dissertations. A particular strength is the consideration of different types of dissertation. It is also nice to see Chris Hart's previous 2-volume guidance on lit searching and lit reviewing distilled within a single text.
A very good detailed book, which is readable and easy to understand. It also has some suitability for other levels, e.g. PhD.
This is an an excellent text book - it provides practical advice on deigning and developing a Master's dissertation. The well considered chapters detail the process and discuss the issues in an in-depth and well informed approach. Invaluable for both students and supervisors.

This is an excellent text book for both students and supervisors. It is clear, concise and well considered throughout.
Really useful text for students who will progress to dissertation stage.
This is an excellent book, which I plan (with the next intake of Masters students) to use as the main text. I am currently supervising Masters dissertation students and have strongly recommended that they purchase this book.
Useful text to show students I am supervising especially overseas students to guide them through the process.
