Third Edition (Chicago Guides to Writing - The Craft of Research

This book lays out a concise strategy for writing and gives very good advice for creating, structuring, revising and submitting your research paper. Many of the strategies are applicable in other forms of writing as well. Well worth your time and money. Read it at least twice then refer to it often!

This book was extremely useful and I have definitely used it again and again... even after my class ended. In fact, it proved invaluable during my Advanced Seminar class when I had to write my final thesis. This book made the process go more smoothly. Great foundation for anyone who has no clue where to start researching and organizing a solid topic.

Excellent book arrived quickly. This item has valuable information on research, written clearly and consisely. This is a required reading and for the reasons that the information is very user friendly

Arrived fast, just on time for when my Professor requested it. Thanks! I am by the 4th chapter, the content is okay, very repetitive, I guess they really want to prove their point. I only bought it because it was requested by my college Professor.

this book really does help with research. It tells you of the many possibilities and resources out there for research. I also needed this for one of my university classes and it was cheaper than at my local university bookstore as well, which is even better since i am a college student who would love to save every penny.

This book was an essential element during my five years of doctoral study and the dissertation process. I found it to be one of the "must haves" for my reference library and would strongly recommend it to any grad student, but especially for doctoral students.

I ordered these books to find some useful tips for writing research papers...I found them to be very useful! Helped a lot when it came to formatting and putting my works cited page together! They must have had great resources, because without them I doubt I would have made a 98 on my Research Paper!!!

I am a graduate student of International Studies and this book was recommended to the entire class by one of our professors. We are working on our thesis as part of our degree fulfillment. Graduation is in May and this textbook has been a practical tool in our research process. I highly recommend it not only for graduate students but also undergrads as well as anyone interested in learning the craft of conducting quality research.

Practical guide for constructing thesis or a dissertation from ground up. The book helps in formulating the interdependent and consecutive arguments (finding a topic, research problem, research questions, and so on) on which a thesis or a dissertation is built upon.

A great research book. I used this book to write a graduating 15 page paper. I learn a lot of information about doing a research paper. If you are weak like I was in the research area then this the book for you. By the way I received an "A" on the paper. It made me interested in doing more research.

Research is most definitely a craft and as with all research books, there is a great deal written about scientific research and medical research. Generic research guides do little to offer help to Musicological research. Yet this is a helpful resource tool if taken generically.
