More evidence to confound those who doubt the wisdom of extending the
benefits of higher education to a wider populace: book review on Amazon
of 'Writing your dissertation...' ...
"I bought this book some time ago, knowing that i would have to choose a
dissertation for when i go back to university in Sept 2004. The task is
much more difficult as i am currently on placement in Westminster and my
university is in Sheffield so its impossible to recieve any help/ advice
on what i am supposed to do. I haven't read a book in at least 8 years
and then that was a shakespear book for my GCSE's i think? Anyway this
was the first book i have read in all that time and found it easy to get
into. It had some nice tips and advice on how to choose the right
subject. It was very limited in parts and after reading two thirds of
the way into the book i got bored and just flicked through the rest - it
was unhelpful for my subject of Business information systems as i think
it is more aimed at social degree's and masters thesis students. I did
take a couple of tips from it and feel that it was a good first book to
read in order to progress onto other more MEATY titles, which will go
more into depth about dissertation writing. I have Since gave the book
to my girlfriend and read three other titles (becoming the proverbial
book worm) - i hope she gets more from it than i did. I will see if it
was helpful, when i begin my final year in Sept."
