Relazione
Guy Roberts-Holmes book has such a wonderful, easy to follow, step-by-step approach to breaking down what many students find a daunting prospect during their studies: managing, planning and carrying out their research project. This book is not only packed with great information, it is clear and well written, with great reflective points making it captivating. I loved the use of practical examples, checklists and web links throughout which is excellent as you feel like you have your own personal tutor on this journey, making this book an enjoyable yet stimulating read.
