Why do you need to read this book?
Because you are at university. Because you are a final year student. Because you have to write a dissertation. As simple as that.
The final year is the hardest year of university – and your dissertation is the most important piece of academic writing in your entire degree course.
Writing 10,000 words is no small task. First of all, you are supposed to come up with your own dissertation topic. How to make one that is easy to answer? Then you are assigned a supervisor to guide you, who tells you that you need to write a literature review and be more critical. However, more often than not you are supposed to figure out what a literature review is and how to be critical all by yourself.
In this book, Vlad Mackevic, a First Class graduate, shares his experience acquired whilst studying and working as an academic writing mentor.
This book will help you find answers the following questions:
- How do you create a simple, manageable dissertation question and then answer it?
- How to write critically? And what does it even mean?
- What on Earth is a literature review?
- Why do you need to write your introduction at the end?
- How do you make the research process as efficient as possible?
- How to come out victorious out the battle for final year grades?
Enjoy reading and writing!
