For many years, Miles T Bryant has taught a course in the construction of the doctoral dissertation, working with hundreds of doctoral students in education and social sciences. He is active in the American Educational Research Association and is widely published scholar
"I do not believe I have ever seen a work of this kind that so thoroughly and so carefully examines the important consideration of working with the student’s advisor, relationships with the student’s supervisory committee, and the oral defense. Students using this text will certainly applaud this work."
"I have read many books that are of a ‘how to nature’ for your doctorate. What Dr. Bryant has done is produce a definitive book that will be valuable to students working on their dissertation. He really understands what a student needs to do and clearly outlines how to start and finish and what needs to be done in between."
"The Portable Dissertation Advisor is an excellent source for educators writing their dissertation. It is clear and precise."
This book has great ideas for doctoral students in writing their dissertations.
