Not another Academic Writing tutorial, A Practical Guide to Writing a Successful Thesis in the Humanities is about tips and tricks that can help students accomplish the task of writing a successful BA or MA thesis and enjoy doing it - to the extent it is possible. The author focuses on how to get into the mindset of writing a thesis, how to compose the most compelling thesis statement, logical structure and flow of argumentation, and on how to make the word processor behave. The book also gives advice on how to manage time and accomplish the most in research and writing. Far from being a manual or detailed walk-through of how to write a thesis, this book helps to get students over daily, minute problems before they overcome their thesis writing projects.
