About the Book

"How to Write a Masters Thesis" is a comprehensive manual on how to conceptualize and write a five-chapter masters thesis, including the introduction, literature review, methodology, results, and discussion. Very often, a theory-practice gap exists for students who have taken the prerequisite methods and statistics courses in their masters program but who have yet to understand how to apply and translate what they've learned about the research process with their first major project. Yvonna Bui demystifies this process by integrating the language learned in these prerequisite courses into a step-by-step guide for developing one's own thesis//project.

Review :
I just wanted to say what a wonderful guide your book has been through my entire thesis writing experience. I referenced your book through every chapter and as I begin to write the last chapter, I honestly feel that I wouldn't feel as confident with my draft if not for your writing. It has a perfect balance of humor, motivation, realistic expectations, and wonderful examples. I especially appreciated your examples and instructions for the SPSS software interpretations. -- Lindy Smart 20111201 This is the best book I have read so far on how to write a master's thesis, I love the practical advice and the conversational writing style. -- Bible Lee 20111201
