Thesis Guide - Mohsen Sadighi
Preface
Doing the final thesis is a difficult process that has different states. But it has important role in the transition of the student. In fact, transition from the state of being, to the state of becoming is the main result of this process.
There are a lot of documents, such as research method books, that are helpful for students in this way. Maybe the distinguishing feature of the Thesis Guide
besides its simplicity and brevity is focusing on some experiences and short cuts or heuristics awareness. There is no guarantee that it always works but works most of the time. The experiences that I am sure like a road map provides good readiness for students and makes doing the final thesis more effective and quicker.
The main audiences of this book are MS and PHD students but most of it can be useful for all students that want to do research and take a project course.
