Description: How do I select a thesis or dissertation topic? Who should I include on my committee? How should I prepare for my comprehensive or oral exams? Can I really complete my graduate degree? If you're a faculty member working with graduate students or if you're currently a graduate student, these are all too familiar questions. Now there is an indispensable guide that answers these and other questions confronting graduate students today. In Negotiating Graduate School, Mark Rossman discusses and explores all aspects of graduate study. Incorporating nearly three decades of personal experience working with master's and doctoral candidates, he addresses such critical issues as developing the research proposal, forming a committee, preparing for comprehensive written and oral exams, avoiding emotional letdowns, defending the thesis or dissertation, and publishing a dissertation.
