The Undergraduate Research Handbook: 122 (Macmillan Study Skills) - Softcover

For many students, independent research is both the most challenging and yet the most rewarding part of a degree. This practical text provides ideas, guidance and information on each stage of the process, from drafting research questions through to communicating your findings, and helps you to keep momentum going throughout your projects.

This fully updated second edition includes new content on critical and analytical thinking and the role of theory in research design. It also:

• Contains hands-on activities and top tips throughout, enabling you to try out new techniques and approaches to research as you go
  
• Gives supportive guidance on overcoming common problems such as writer’s block and managing deadlines
  
• Shows you what examiners are looking for and how to ensure your work meets their expectations
  

The Undergraduate Research Handbook seeks to enthuse and equip you in the art and craft of research. Based on the author’s first-hand experience of working with undergraduate students and teaching staff, it will ensure you achieve optimum results on your degree course.
