      100% recommendable.
      I appreciated the pragmatic way to write giving short and clear pieces of information, explanations, and samples.
      Thank you
    • 5/5
      Love this book. The author explains very clearly step by step writing, so it is easy to apply it to our report.
    • 5/5
      It's a good book. read this after you've already figured out what you want to write about and you have your topics laid out. It helps in your research arrangement, what comes after what and gives you a good understanding of what is required in each chapter.

      Again, this is for after figuring out your topics, table of content and all that stuff. You can just jump on this the minute you realize you have to write a thesis. This book is for further guidance, in a simplified format.
