How to Write a Master's Thesis

by Yvonne N. Bui

The Third Edition of How to Write a Master's Thesis is a comprehensive manual on how to plan and write a five-chapter master’s thesis, and a great resource for graduate students looking for concrete, applied guidance on how to successfully complete their master's degrees. While research methods and statistics courses may teach students the basic information on how to conduct research, putting it all together into a single project and document can be a challenge. Author Yvonne Bui demystifies this process by integrating the language learned in prerequisite methods and statistics courses into a step-by-step guide for developing a student's own thesis or project.

Another grad school money grab. Author talks about Google scholar and talking to your librarian. This author is one of those people that inadvertently talks people out of getting their Masters. She has over complicated quite a bit. There are a few gems here, but not many. I read this as a head start for my masters thesis this semester. Very much in the line of books like “how to read a research paper” and “how to write a systemic review”. These authors seem to just want a title that sells well with grad schools so they can make a quick buck.

Useful for people in Social Sciences.

2/5 Stars. Honestly not sure why this book was required reading for my masters degree since its not applicable to the style of subject in which I am getting a masters. Kind of was a waste of time.

Read for grad school. Seemed straight forward, if a little simplistic.

Clear cut, well written and comprehensive.
