The senior thesis is the capstone of a college education,
but writing one can be a daunting prospect. Students need to choose
their own topic and select the right adviser. Then they need to work
steadily for several months as they research, write, and manage a major
independent project. Now there's a mentor to help. How to Write a BA Thesis
is a practical, friendly guide written by Charles Lipson, an
experienced professor who has guided hundreds of students through the
thesis-writing process.
This book offers step-by-step advice on how to turn a vague idea into a clearly defined proposal,
then a draft paper, and, ultimately, a polished thesis. Lipson also
tackles issues beyond the classroom-from good work habits to coping
with personal problems that interfere with research and writing.
Filled
with examples and easy-to-use highlighted tips, the book also includes
handy time schedules that show when to begin various tasks and how much
time to spend on each. Convenient checklists remind students which
steps need special attention, and a detailed appendix, filled with
examples, shows how to use the three main citation systems in the
humanities and social sciences: MLA, APA, and Chicago. How to Write a BA Thesis will
help students work more comfortably and effectively-on their own and
with their advisers. Its clear guidelines and sensible advice make it
the perfect text for thesis workshops. Students and their advisers will
refer again and again to this invaluable resource. From choosing a
topic to preparing the final paper, How to Write a BA Thesis helps students turn a daunting prospect into a remarkable achievement.
