Often the dissertation or thesis represents the culmination of their programme as a substantial piece of self-directed work. More than just a means to consolidate their final grade, it is also an exciting chance to conduct intensive research on a topic of their choosing. It can also be a gateway to further periods of study as well as job offers and future career paths. Yet for all these reasons, the dissertation is viewed by many students as a tricky challenge. This book intends to take the stress and anxiety out of doing a dissertation in tourism studies and related disciplines. The dissertation process is examined from the germination of an idea to the submission, presentation and assessment of the final document. We offer a framework for conducting dissertations in the English-speaking world which students can adopt to varying degrees in their research at the undergraduate and masters levels. We aim to debunk the popular myths and common pitfalls of doing a dissertation. Rather than view the dissertation as a single, overwhelming project, the dissertation is presented as a series of more modest, manageable yet crucially inter-linked tasks that all students can successfully complete through effective time management"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aTourism$xStudy and teaching (Graduate) 606 $aDissertations, Academic$xAuthorship 615 0$aTourism$xStudy and teaching (Graduate) 615 0$aDissertations, Academic$xAuthorship. 676 $a338.4/791 686 $aBUS081000$aSCI030000$aSOC015000$2bisacsh 700 $aColes$b Tim.$0451325 701 $aDuval$b David Timothy$f1970-$01659476 701 $aShaw$b Gareth$0251769 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826028203321 996 $aStudent's guide to writing dissertations and theses in tourism studies and related disciplines$94102530 997 $aUNINA
