"I do not believe I have ever seen a work of this kind that so thoroughly and so carefully examines the important consideration of working with the students' advisor, relationships with the students' supervisory committee, and the oral defense. Students using this text will certainly applaud this work."
M. Scott Norton, Professor
Arizona State University

Having problems getting your dissertation finished? Here is the help you need!

Getting your doctorate part-time or via the computer makes it difficult to schedule meetings with your advisor, use the library's resources, or discuss your topic ideas and dissertation difficulties with fellow students. Problems unique to nontraditional graduate students are alleviated with this easy-to-use dissertation guide. In sections devised to follow the conventional structure of a dissertation, Bryant organizes the book to help you locate vital information quickly and efficiently.

Practical, targeted, and no-nonsense, this book includes suggestions and tips for:

Finding a topic, a theory, and a research method
Creating a dissertation support group, plus an appendix listing activities for a support group
Using a research library from off campus
Developing a productive relationship with your advisor

The Portable Dissertation Advisor also contains an annotated bibliography of research books, a list of doctoral studies written about writing dissertations, and an assessment tool for you to evaluate your study.

Industry Reviews

"I do not believe I have ever seen a work of this kind that so thoroughly and so carefully examines the important consideration of working with the student's advisor, relationships with the student's supervisory committee, and the oral defense. Students using this text will certainly applaud this work." -- M. Scott Norton, Professor "I have read many books that are of a 'how to nature' for your doctorate. What Dr. Bryant has done is produce a definitive book that will be valuable to students working on their dissertation. He really understands what a student needs to do and clearly outlines how to start and finish and what needs to be done in between." -- Cal Hauserman, Principal "The Portable Dissertation Advisor is an excellent source for educators writing their dissertation. It is clear and precise." -- Joan Bowman, Principal
