Publisher's Synopsis
Nearly all graduate students successfully complete the classroom portion of their program, but almost half won't graduate. The thesis or dissertation presents itself as an insurmountable obstacle and the student drop-out rate soars. It's not surprising that most graduate students become anxious when the time comes to write their thesis. Their entire graduate career depends on the successful completion of a thesis or dissertation, and they've seldom been taught the fundamentals of research. This book is a complete course in survey research and will get you past that insurmountable obstacle. Everything you need to know about doing a quantitative survey for your thesis or dissertation is contained within. This book defines all the basic research terms and gives you the standard jargon for including them in your thesis. In many cases, it gives you the exact phrases you must use. Even better, you'll understand them. Survey Design and Analysis, A Graduate Thesis Handbook is what you need to approach your thesis or dissertation with confidence.
