How to Write a BA Thesis is the only book that directly addresses the needs of undergraduate students writing a major paper. This book offers step-by-step advice on how to move from early ideas to... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I've read a number of books about writing a thesis/dissertation; this is by far the most useful and pragmatic book on the market. While Lipson spends sometime discussing the "softer" aspects of writing a thesis (how to not become discouraged, why you should really pick a topic you think you would enjoy writing about, etc.), he also provides incredibly helpful suggestions when it comes to the actual writing of the thesis, including a detailed checklist and timeline for your thesis. And his section on "pre-writing" is the best advice I've gotten yet as to how to actually start getting words down on paper. This book's practicality and concreteness is a refreshing change of pace from the almost self-help quality of other writing books.
Worthwhile Help

This book gives needed guidance to students working independently on their senior project/thesis. I like having a book that provides structure to the student's research experience. I ask students to buy this book and the APA manual to help them through their senior projects.
Remarcable work.

The book represents a very helpful insight into the work a faculty student should do in the final year to complete a thesis. It covers absolutely every corner you can think and even those you've never thought that could possibly be there. Lots of examples, full of great ideas, very clear, very coherent. It is a 100% outstanding purchase.
