Overview

A systematic framework for a low-stress dissertation

Writing a dissertation is the graduate students' Everest; organizing the results of years of research is daunting, and constructing a defendable argument leaves students in a perpetual state of self-doubt. Completing Dissertations in the Behavioral Sciences and Education offers a better way, with a systematic framework that helps students organize their thoughts, create a writing plan, and stick to it. By approaching the mountain with a plan of attack, you gain the clarity, patience, and confidence to streamline your path to the summit.
