Many students are concerned about writing their first dissertation. However this book offers an excellent introductory guide to help them complete their literature review - the foundation of the dissertation.
This text is a very useful supplement to Stogdon and Kitely's "Study Skills for Social Workers" which I recommend to my year 1 - 3 students. This extensive coverage of literature reviews will form the basis for year four teaching and support for our students undertakign a literature based dissertation.
This is proving to be a useful text for students in their final year of social work training, and as they complete their Literature Reviews with their Research Methods.
This text is nicely set out and easily accessible, crucial when time is of the essence for beleaguered students!
