This book has been an asset in my doctoral journey. The examples have guided me through my courses and helped me write my prospectus. The information is exactly what a student needs- nothing more and nothing less. I love that it is thin enough to be a quick reference book at my computer desk, but has enough information so I understand what I am doing. I highly recommend it to anyone pursuing a doctorate degree.
