"This is the first Book of Rowena's which I purchased - albeit the 2nd edition of the same book! In 2014 I purchased this book (prior edition) to aid my dissertation writing as I studied for a BSc in Geosciences with the OU - it was an immense help! I used it repeatedly, and again (this edition was purchased in 2017) for my PhD Part-time studies (ongoing) at Keele University.
Not only has this book been immensely useful, but, after attending a course at Keele University this week, I was able to slap myself on the wrist for not completing some of the exercises contained in it... In hindsight, they would have helped me better my written work further, and are now set into my routine of study and writing!
*Read it. Do it. Live it!*." -- Cathrene Rowell
“This book has become my guardian angel. I am really early in the process of writing a thesis but whenever I have a crisis moment, I turn to my new 'bible' and I always find information and advice which alleviates my anxieties and reassures me. It is now my travel companion and rapidly becoming my best friend! I have a long way to go, but reading the experiences of previous students in chapter 1 and how they used the book has helped me tremendously. Watch this space.. as I progress, I will keep you posted! “
Thank you Professor Murray!!! -- Liz
