Industry Reviews

This book is both a delight to read and extremely useful. Nygaard brings the topic of thesis writing alive while also leading students through what they need to know and be able to do write a successful thesis. I highly recommend it.
-- Brian Paltridge
The distinctive focus of this ground-breaking study skills book is on the beginner thesis-writer as an individual shaped by experience-based academic assumptions and desires. From this perspective conventional assessment criteria can be transformed into a pedagogically helpful conversation with different readers.
-- Mary Scott
What makes this book unique is how every step of the writing process is framed to engage the writer's awareness. Thesis writing, under Nygaard's guidance, becomes an experience of discovery and self-realization. It's invaluable for students aiming for an academic career. -- Ingerid Straume

This book is many things: interactive, multi-dimensional, technical, philosophical, and incredibly witty. Packed with valuable life-lessons, it demystifies academic writing and shows you how best to communicate topics outside of your own head, department, or community.

-- Christian Davenport
